Abstract
We have studied the localization, the morphology and sources of serotonergic input on the primary afferent neurons in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (Me5) of the rat with light and electronmicroscopy immunocytochemistry and with anterograde and retrograde neuroanatomical tract tracing methods. Me5 neurons were found to receive a serotonergic input that is part of a serotonergic fibre plexus extending over the neighbouring parabrachial nucleus and locus coeruleus. These serotonergic afferents originate predominantly from serotonergic cells in the dorsal raphe nucleus.
