Uemura, Kagoshima University. In the relationships, the comparative anatomical investigations of many mammals generally shown as follow: A lateral-medial arrangements of the mononeurons in the trigeminal motor nucleus, the facial nucleus, and the hypoglossal nucleus somatotopically corresponded to lateral-medial position in the masticatory muscles, anterior-posterior in the facial mimetic muscles, and medial-lateral in the lingual muscles. This positional contradiction among such relations is remained as a question. The IR in the shrew masticatory muscles appeared larger values in the larger muscles. In the gustatory system in our study, the posteromedial ventral nucleus (VPMpc), which is the thalamic taste area, mainly projected to the insura cortex, the amigdala and the fundus of striata (FStr). The striatum also receive input from the cortex, the reward system and the nucleus accumbends. And, the nucleus accumbens has input from the amygdala. Therefore, The taste sense would directly and indirectly involve the accumulated action programs (striana) through the reward system and the evasion system (amygdala).}, pages = {3--17}, title = {顎顔面の運動神経細胞の脳内分布,および味覚の神経回路}, volume = {33}, year = {2013} }
