Abstract
⺠CTb was used to label corneal afferents to trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Vc). ⺠FluoroGold (FG) labeled thalamic- and parabrachial-projecting neurons in Vc. ⺠CTb-labeled corneal afferents project more densely to rostral Vc than caudal Vc. ⺠Thalamic- and parabrachial-projecting neurons are more abundant in rostral Vc. ⺠Corneal afferents preferentially target parabrachial-projecting neurons in Vc.
