The superior laryngeal nerve: its projection to the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in the guinea pig.

The distribution of neurons in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMNV) that innervate the supraglottic and glottic areas of the larynx of the guinea pig have been studied using the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) technique. Following soaking of the superior laryngeal nerve in a solution of HRP, labeled neurons were always located ipsilaterally, at levels between the estria acustica and the caudal end of the inferior olivary nucleus. Characteristically, the neurons were small or medium in size.

The hypoglossal nucleus of the guinea pig, labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP).

H.R.P. technique has been used, and shown usefull in the retrograde tracing of the motor neurons from both main branches of the hypoglossal nerve. Traced motor neurons were observed at spinal levels and a portion of the brain stem slightly below the pyramidal decussation to a plane where the inferior olivary nucleus begins to disappear.
