Our knowledge of the avian sensory trigeminal system has been largely restricted to the
principal trigeminal nucleus (PrV) and its ascending projections to the forebrain. Studies …

In our traditional view of the avian somatosensory system, input from the beak and head
reaches the telencephalon via a disynaptic pathway, involving projections from the principal …

The primary sensory trigeminal system of Python is characterized by the presence of an
additional nucleus which is involved in processing data obtained by infrared sensors. This …

The dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR), which is the largest component of the avian pallium,
contains discrete partitions receiving tectovisual, auditory, and trigeminal ascending …

A combination of autoradiography and horseradish peroxidase histochemistry was used to
identify telencephalic structures linking the sensory and motor components of the trigeminal …

Injections of cholera toxin B‐chain conjugated to horseradish peroxidase into individual
peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve or into the trigeminal ganglion showed that an …

While the somatotopic organization of many central systems is well characterized, that of
peripheral sensory neurons has not been adequately defined. This is especially true for the …

Primary sensory trigeminal projections were investigated in the hagfish following application
of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to the sensory branches. In our control preparations we …

In vertebrates, sensory specializations are usually correlated with increases in the brain
areas associated with that specialization. This correlation is called the 'principle of proper …

In songbirds, the learning and maintenance of song is dependent on auditory feedback, but
little is known about the presence or role of other forms of sensory feedback. Here, we …
