The facial nucleus of the rat can be divided into 5 morphological subdivisions. Using a method for the correlation of the observed subdivisions with antidromic field profiles, the orgins of the major muscle branches of the facial nerve in the motor nucleus were determined. The posterior auricular branch is in the medial, the cervical in the ventromedial, the inferior and superior buccolabiales in the lateral, the zygomatic in the dorsal and the temporal and digastric in the intermediate subdivision. The results are consistent with an organization of the motor nucleus reflecting a corresponding topographic organization of the facial musculature.
大鼠的面神经核可分为5个形态学亚区。采用一种将观察到的亚区与逆行性场轮廓相关联的方法，确定了运动核中面神经主要肌支的起源。耳后支位于内侧，颈支位于腹内侧，上下颊唇支位于外侧，颧支位于背侧，颞支和二腹肌支位于中间亚区。这些结果与运动核的组织方式一致，反映了面部肌肉相应的局部解剖组织方式。
