This study was undertaken to identify the trigeminal nuclear regions connected to the hypoglossal (XII) and facial (VII) motor nuclei in rats. Anterogradely transported tracers (biotinylated dextran amine, biocytin) were injected into the various subdivisions of the sensory trigeminal complex, and l

## Abstract Chewing, swallowing, breathing, and vocalization in mammals require precise coordination of tongue movements with concomitant activities of the mimetic muscles. The neuroanatomic basis for this oro‐facial coordination is not yet fully understood. After the stereotaxic microinjection of
The distribution of inhibitory premotor neurons for the facial and hypoglossal nuclei was examined in the lower brainstem of the rat. A retrograde axonal tracing method with the fluorescent tracer, tetramethylrhodamine dextran amine (TMR-DA), was combined with immunofluorescence histochemistry for g
