Abstract

At several levels of the trigeminal system of the rat, the terminations of afferent fibers are organized into a pattern which replicates the distribution of receptors on the face of the rat. Neonatal manipulations of this facial pattern result in the formation of altered central patterns. Study of pattern formation in this system may add to our understanding of the formation of ordered neuronal topographies.
