The localization of sensory cells innervating the extraocular muscles (EOMs) was studied in the lamb, pig and cat in which horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected into each EOM. Electrophysiological techniques were also used to search for EOM stretch sensitive units in the semilunar ganglion. In lamb and pig labeling was observed in the semilunar ganglion only, while in cat labeled neurons were present in both the semilunar ganglion and mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus. In the semilunar ganglion of all these species a clear somatotopic organization of EOM afferents was observed. The histochemical somatotopic pattern of EOM afferents in the semilunar ganglion of lamb and pig was substantially in agreement with the electrophysiological arrangement. The responses recorded to EOM stretch in the semilunar ganglion of the pig were characterized by a low threshold and a slow adaptation as previously found in the lamb; on the contrary, in the semilunar ganglion of the cat only a few units were found, which showed high stretch threshold and quick adaptation.
