“…The phasic modulation of cutaneous reflexes in cats has been attributed to presynaptic mechanisms Rossignol, 1985, 1987;Dubuc et al, 1988;Gossard et al, 1989). In the trigeminal system, primary afferent depolarization has been demonstrated directly (Browne and Goldberg, 1978a;Yu and Avery, 1974) and implicated in the modulation of trigeminal interneurons and reflexes (Browne and Goldberg, 1978b;Goldberg, 1972;Goldberg and Browne, 1974;Nakamura and Wu, 1970). In the jaw-opening reflex, the phasic modulation that occurs during mastication (Kurasawa et al, 1988;Lund etal., 1981Lund etal., , 1983Lund etal., , 1984) may be controlled by presynaptic gating of primary afferent input .…”

This article reviews literature relating to the central projection of primary afferent neurons of the trigeminal nerve. After a brief description of the major nuclei associated with the trigeminal nerve, the presentation reviews several early issues related to theories of trigeminal organization including modality and somatotopic representation. Recent studies directed toward further definition of central projection patterns of single nerve branches or nerves supplying specific oral and facial tissues are considered together with data from intraaxonal and intracellular studies that define the projection patterns of single fibers. A presentation of recent immunocytochemical data related to primary afferent fibers is described. Finally, several insights that recent studies shed on early theories of trigeminal input are assessed.
