    Notes: Summary Horseradish peroxidase was injected into the somata or axons of neurones located in the nucleus oralis of the spinal trigeminal complex and projecting to the accessory abducens nucleus. A group of 43 axons with electrophysiologically identified responses to the stimulation of three different areas of the face were studied. The latencies of their orthodromic responses following trigeminal stimulation and their pattern of discharges were compared to those of secondary trigeminal neurones and retractor bulbi motoneurones. Labelled trigeminal axons were found to generate collaterals for the accessory abducens nucleus. Terminal ramifications are present in the rostro-caudal part of the motor nucleus where the dendritic arborization of the motoneurones has been described. Connections to facial and trigeminal motor nuclei were also present, suggesting that secondary trigeminal axons distributed the information to the three motor targets at the brain stem level. It is suggested that the trigemino-retractor bulbi reflex is part of facial reflexes involved in orienting reactions, and protective responses resulting in coordinated movements of the facial musculature.

    Notes: Summary Motoneurones innervating the retractor bulbi muscle in the cat have been identified by retrograde labelling with horseradish peroxidase, by intracellular recording and by intracellular staining with horseradish peroxidase. Their somata are found in an accessory abducens nucleus, analogous to that described in some other species, which consists of a narrow column of cells situated in the lateral tegmental reticular field, above the superior olive and medial to the facial nerve. This column of cells extends over approximately 1.5 mm from P 5.5 to P 7. The retractor bulbi motoneurones number from 80 to 120 and have large, elongated somata which give rise to five or six major dendrites. Their axons cross the reticular formation in a dorso-medial direction to pass through the principal abducens nucleus before turning to leave the brain stem in the 6th nerve. Antidromic latencies ranged from 0.4 to 0.7 ms. Some retractor bulbi motoneurones could also be activated antidromically by stimulation of the lateral rectus muscle nerve.
