    The Cerebellar Cortex Receives Orofacial Proprioceptive Signals from the Supratrigeminal Nucleus via the Mossy Fiber Pathway in Rats

    Proprioceptive sensory information from muscle spindles is essential for the regulation of motor functions. However, little is known about the motor control regions in the cerebellar cortex that receive propri...

    Widespread corticopetal projections from the oval paracentral nucleus of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei conveying orofacial proprioception in rats

    The oval paracentral nucleus (OPC) was initially isolated from the paracentral nucleus (PC) within the intralaminar thalamic nuclei in rats. We have recently shown that the rat OPC receives proprioceptive inpu...

    Orofacial proprioceptive thalamus of the rat

    The ascending pathway mediating proprioception from the orofacial region is still not fully known. The present study elucidated the relay of jaw-closing muscle spindle (JCMS) inputs from brainstem to thalamus ...

    GABA and glycine in synaptic microcircuits associated with physiologically characterized primary afferents of cat trigeminal principal nucleus

    Previous studies suggest that sensory information conveyed through trigeminal afferents is more strongly controlled at the level of the first synapse by GABA-mediated presynaptic mechanisms in the trigeminal p...

    Quantitative analysis of the dendritic architectures of single jaw-closing and jaw-opening motoneurons in cats

    Little is known about the dendritic architectures of trigeminal motoneurons innervating antagonistic muscles. Thus, the aim of the present study was to provide a quantitative description of jaw-closing (JC) an...

    Quantitative ultrastructure of synapses on functionally identified primary afferent neurons in the cat trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus

    Though a number of studies have reported the presence of synapses on neurons in the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (Vmes), there have been no quantitative studies of either the density of innervation, or th...
