What is The Efferent System of Cranial Nerve Nuclei: A Comparative Neuromorphological Study (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology Book 128) about?

A number of inconsistencies and controversies are inherent in the classification of cranial nerve nuclei based on the concepts of the various head-theories. The assumption of head segmentation, which is common to these theories, serves as the basis for designating the dorsomedial nuclei as the somatomotor column, although they innervate striated muscles of a viscus and a specific sense organ. The ventrolateral nuclei are called the specific visceromotor column; they innervate striated muscles in the branchiogenous area, but many of these muscles insert on skeletal elements. A series of comparative neuromorphological studies investigating the dendritic arborization pattern and axonal trajectory in the frog, lizard, and rat suggests a much more delicate classification in which nine morphologically and functionally different neuron groups can be discerned: 1. The hypoglossal nucleus appears coincidentally with the muscular tongue in amphibia. The spindle-shaped perikaryon, the bipolar dendritic arborization, and the straight ventral trajectory of the axon are characteristic morphological features in all three animal species investigated. 2. The oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nucl
