dc.description.abstract | Taste buds in goldfish and other cyprinids are found not only within the oropharyngeal cavity but also scattered over the external body surface. The external taste buds are innervated by branches of the facial nerve that terminate centrally in an enlargement of the medulla termed the facial lobe. The peripheral distribution and areas of innervation of the rami of the facial sensory nerve were determined by using a modification of the Sihler technique and by examination of a Bodian-stained head series. The central projections of individual rami of the facial sensory nerve were traced by means of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) technique. Fibers of the facial sensory nerve distribute over the head and trunk via nine rami. The supraorbital ramus distributes fibers to taste buds above the eye. The palatine, maxillary, and mandibular rami innervate taste buds of the rostral palate, upper lip, and lower lip, respectively. The three rami of the hyomandibular trunk innervate taste buds on the operculum, branchiostegal rays, and in the lower cheek region. A facial recurrent ramus was also found that distributes fibers to taste buds on the trunk and pectoral fin via two rami, the lateral recurrent ramus and pectoral recurrent ramus. The facial sensory rami map somatotopically on the facial lobe. Overall, the projections follow an anteroposterior orientation with the long axis of the body tilted slightly ventrally. The lips and rostral palate make up a disproportionately large portion of the map, taking up nearly the entire ventral extent of the lobe. The trunk and pectoral fin regions map broadly across the dorsal portion of the lobe. Further, projections to the nucleus of the descending trigeminal tract were observed with labeling of the supraorbital, maxillary, and mandibular rami, and the rami of the hyomandibular trunk. Projections to the facial motor nucleus were also observed with labeling of maxillary and mandibular rami, perhaps indicating a monosynaptic reflex arc. These projections have not been reported in previous studies on the teleostean facial taste system. | en_US |
