Dynamics of morphological changes in the trigeminal ganglion neurons in compression injury of the rat maxillary nerve

Abstract

The dynamics of reparative processes in rat trigeminal ganglion neurons was studied during the early posttraumatic period; somatic location and interactions of neurons with glial cells were evaluated. The neurons and their nucleoli were enlarged during this period, proliferation of glial cell and transcription activity of chromatin increased. The location of neuronal bodies belonging to the maxillary nerve was determined by the phenomenon of chromatolysis. The neurons belonging to this nerve were located under the node capsule.
