  • Title: [The autonomic division of oculomotor nerve nuclei in mammals and during human development].
    Author: Miller ID.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1978 Jan; 74(1):76-82. PubMed ID: 415704.
    Abstract:
    Development of the vegetative component of the oculomotor nerve nuclei was studied in the main mammalia orders and in human ontogenesis. In phylogenesis parasympathetic nuclei of Jakubovitch--Edinger--Westphal and those of Perlia are formed later than somatic nuclei of the oculomotor nerve. The animals studied have, together with well developed somatic components of the oculomotor nerve nuclei, gomologues of parasympathetic nuclei, which are rather well developed in carnivores and monkeys. In human prenatal ontogenesis, somatic nuclei are formed first and then parasympathetic ones. Both parts of the oculomotor nerve nuclei are fully developed in adult man.
