trigeminal nerve - BrainInfo

trigeminal nerve (5n)

The term trigeminal nerve refers to one of twelve cranial nerves that attach to the brain and pass out of the cranial cavity through openings at the base of the cranium. The nerve is composed of axons to and from several trigeminal nuclei in the midbrain and hindbrain. The bundles of axons located within the brain are referred to as trigeminal nerve fibers, tracts and roots. Defined on the basis of connectivity the trigeminal nerve includes both the trigeminal nerve fibers within the brain and the nerve trunks outside (See Models Where It Appears > Functional CNS Model - Rat below.)

Also known as: trigeminal nerve, Nervus trigeminus, Nerve V, fifth cranial nerve

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.
