| pubmed-article:6179015 | pubmed:abstractText | The myotopical arrangement of masticatory motoneurons was examined in the guinea pig by the horseradish peroxidase method. The trigeminal motor nucleus was composed of dorsolateral and ventromedial divisions; the former was seen in the whole rostrocaudal extent of the nucleus, while the latter was present at levels of the caudal two thirds of the nucleus. The jaw-closer motoneurons were located in the dorsolateral division, and the jaw-opener motoneurons (mylohyoid and anterior digastric motoneurons) were seen in the ventromedial division. | lld:pubmed |
