Retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) was used to study the localisation of neurons that innervate the lacrimal gland of the cynomolgous monkey. WGA-HRP-labelled neurons were localised in the ipsilateral trigeminal, superior cervical and ciliary ganglia and in the ipsilateral and contralateral pterygopalatine ganglia. In the trigeminal ganglion WGA-HRP-labelled somata were found in the ophthalmic part (18%) and the maxillary part (5%). Identification of labelled neurons in the ciliary and pterygopalatine ganglia indicates a dual parasympathetic innvervation of the lacrimal gland. There is no known pathway to account for the contralateral location or pterygopalatine neurons. These novel findings are incorporated in a concept of a neural control mechanism for the lacrimal gland.
采用小麦胚凝集素-辣根过氧化物酶（WGA-HRP）逆行运输法，研究支配食蟹猴泪腺的神经元定位。WGA-HRP标记的神经元定位于同侧三叉神经节、颈上神经节和睫状神经节，以及同侧和对侧翼腭神经节。在三叉神经节中，WGA-HRP标记的胞体见于眼神经部分（18%）和上颌神经部分（5%）。睫状神经节和翼腭神经节中标记神经元的鉴定表明泪腺有双重副交感神经支配。目前尚无已知途径可解释翼腭神经节神经元的对侧定位。这些新发现被纳入泪腺神经控制机制的概念中。
