Abstract
This is the first quantitative electron microscopic study of anterior ethmoidal nerve in adult and newborn cats. The adult nerve comprises about 1,000 myelinated fibers including Aδ (65%) and Aβ (35%) fibers and 6,000 unmyelinated fibers. At birth, only 27% of the adult myelinated fibers complement is already present. The immaturity of the nerve is discussed in relation to that of the sneeze reflex.
