    Abstract:
    Intracellular Neurobiotin-injections were used to label functionally identified neurons in the rostro-dorsomedial part of the trigeminal oral nucleus (Vo.r) in the cat. The labeled Vo.r neurons with the mechanoreceptive field in oral tissues innervated bilaterally either jaw-opening motoneurons or jaw-closing motoneurons. This result suggests that Vo.r neurons play an important role in sensory-motor reflexes responsible for coordination of bilaterally symmetrical jaw movements.
