What is Morphological Differences Between Fast and Slowly Adapting Lingual Afferent Terminations in the Principal and Oral Nuclei in the Cat about?

Previous studies indicated that fast-adapting (FA) and slowly adapting (SA) mechanoreceptive afferents innervating the facial or intraoral structures give rise to morphologically distinct terminal arbors in the individual subdivisions of the trigeminal sensory nuclear complex. The present study examined the collateral morphologies of lingual afferents in the nuclei principalis (Vp) and oralis (Vo) of the cat. Seven FA and six SA lingual afferents were physiologically characterized and stained by the intra-axonal horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injection technique. The two types of afferents established terminal arbors in the dorsomedial subdivision (Vpd) of the Vp, and the rostrodorsomedial (Vo.r) and dorsomedial subdivisions (Vo.dm) of the Vo, but the collateral morphologies are different between the two types. The FA afferents gave rise to mediolaterally extended oblong arbors in each subdivision, but the arbors were better developed in the Vo.r than in the Vpd and Vo.dm. The number of collaterals, intercollateral distance, number of boutons per collateral, and bouton size were also different among the subdivisions. The SA afferents were divided into two subtypes; one had a preferen
