Axonal courses of jaw-opening motoneurons were examined in the cat by applying horseradish peroxidase to the central cut end of the nerve branch which supplies the mylohyoid and/or the anterior digastric muscle. The axons of mylohyoid and anterior digastric motoneurons, which are located in the ventromedial division of the trigeminal motor nucleus, initially swing dorsally before running ventrolaterally to leave the pons; axons proceeding in the more rostral levels make turns in the more dorsomedial tegmental regions, and those running in the most rostral levels form a small genu in the region near the midline under the floor of the fourth ventricle.
通过将辣根过氧化物酶应用于支配下颌舌骨肌和/或二腹肌前腹的神经分支的中枢切断端，在猫中检查了开颌运动神经元的轴突走向。位于三叉神经运动核腹内侧部的下颌舌骨肌和二腹肌前腹运动神经元的轴突，最初向背侧摆动，然后向腹外侧延伸离开脑桥；在更靠前水平走行的轴突在更靠背内侧的被盖区转弯，而在最靠前水平走行的轴突在第四脑室底中线附近区域形成一个小膝。
