HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE-LABELLED CELLS IN CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC AND TRIGEMINAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS AFTER INJECTION OF HRP INTO TOOTH PULP IN MONKEYS AND TREE SHREWS (A PRELIMINARY REPORT)

抄録

The neurons that project to the tooth pulp were examined by the HRP-retrograde transport technique, using 4 monkeys (3 Japanese monkeys and a crab-eating monkey) and 6 tree shrews. The present investigation showed that a large number of sympathetic cervical ganglion neurons, small and medium in size, project to the molar teeth from the superior, middle and inferior ganglia and a small number of Gasserian gangilon neurons (small in size) to the molar teeth ipsilaterally.
