    Abstract:
    Motoneurons innervating the tensor tympani muscle were identified in the adult guinea pig and cat by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. After HRP injection into the tensor tympani muscle, HRP-labeled neurons were seen in the regions outside the cytoarchitectonically-defined confines of the trigeminal motor nucleus; in the regions rostral to the rostral pole of the nucleus, as well as in the regions ventral and ventrolateral to the nucleus at the levels of the rostral half (guinea pig) or the rostral two-thirds (cat) of the nucleus. The tensor tympani motoneurons were generally smaller than the masticatory motoneurons.
