Photomicrographs of Nissl-stained horizontal sections in a P35 day control rat illustrating sections typical of the dorsal (A), intermediate (B), and ventral (C) zones of the chorda tympani nerve terminal field and anatomical landmarks in the brainstem. The solid line denotes the outline of the NTS. The terminal fields of the chorda tympani nerve are shown in the rostral pole of the NTS. This tissue is used for illustration purposes only and data were not obtained from Nissl-stained sections. The scale bar=500 μm in A. icp, inferior cerebellar peduncle; L, lateral; psV, spinal trigeminal tract; R, rostral; SpV, interpolar division of spinal trigeminal nucleus; ST, solitary tract; VCN, ventral cochlear nucleus; VII, facial nucleus; XII, hypoglossal nucleus; 4th, fourth ventricle.
