Abstract
The sites of origin of serotoninergic afferents in the trigeminal motor (Vm), facial (VII), and hypoglossal nuclei (XII) were studied in the rat by fluorescent retrograde labeling with Fluoro-Gold, in combination with immunofluorescence histochemistry for serotonin (5-HT). The results indicated: (1) The nucleus raphe magnus, nucleus raphe pallidus, and nucleus raphe obscurus contained 5-HT neurons projecting to the Vm, VII or XII. (2) The nucleus raphe dorsalis sends 5-HT fibres to the Vm and VII, but not to the XII. (3) The gigantocellular reticular nucleus pars alpha contained 5-HT neurons projecting to the VII.Entities:
