spinal trigeminal nucleus

The term spinal trigeminal nucleus refers to a nucleus composed of three parts: the oral part of the spinal trigeminal nucleus, the interpolar part of the spinal trigeminal nucleus, and the caudal part of the spinal trigeminal nucleus. In the classical Models of the nervous system of the human ( Carpenter-1983 ) and the macaque ( Martin-2000 ) is located dorsolaterally in the rostral hindbrain. In the functional Models of central nervous system organization it is classified as part of the subcortical somatosensory system as illustrated in brain atlases of the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Dong-2004 ) (see Models Where It Appears below).

Also known as: Nucleus inferior nervi trigemini, Nucleus tracti spinalis nervi trigemini, nucleus of spinal trigeminal tract, nucleus of descending tract of trigeminal, spinal nucleus of the trigeminal, Nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini, spinal trigeminal nucleus, nucleus of descending root of trigeminal, trigeminospinal nucleus, Nucleus tractus spinalis nervi trigemini, nucleus radicis descendentis nervi trigemini, Nucleus spinalis nervi trigeminalis

Models Where It Appears

Functional CNS Model - Rat

The Functional CNS Model - Rat (FMrat) ( Swanson-2004) is one of three hierarchical models representing the internal organization of the central nervous system (CNS). The others are the Structural CNS Model - Human (SThmn) and the Functional CNS Model - Human (FMhmn). The FMrat model represents the basic organization of the mouse ( Hof-2000 AMBA-2024 ) and, presumably, other rodents. Functional CNS models differ from structural models in that structures are defined and named by connectivity rather than by proximity to other structures at the same level. Functional models are more useful for representing longitudinal components of are grouped based on information drawn from multiple neuroscientific disciplines. such as connections, neurochemical characteristics, and role in physiogical and behavioral processes. While the Functional Model was developed primarily for an atlas of the rat brain ( Swanson-2004 ), the hierarchical organization of structures is for the most part applicable to the human, macaque, mouse and other mammalian brains as well. Structures at lower levels of the Functional CNS hierarchy are largely the same as in the Classical and Developmental Models, i.e., they were originally identified by stains for gray matter (Nissl substance) and white matter (myelin). At the next higher level they are grouped into basic connectional and functional systems of the CNS, such as the subcortical sensory systems, the brainstem motor system and the behavioral state system. At the highest levels CNS structures are grouped on the basis of dissection and embryologic precursors into cerebrum ( cerebral cortex and cerebral nuclei ), cerebellum, and cerebrospinal trunk.
