Abstract
Weigert preparations of normal material show some primary and secondary trigeminal central connections. The formation of the mesencephalic root and of the ascending secondary tracts are discussed. The secondary trigeminal fibers from the principal sensory nucleus and from the anterior region of the spinal nucleus form in hedgehog, as in opossum, a well marked decussation.Keywords
