Abstract
The sensory part of the trigeminal nuclear complex comprises three nuclei: the descending (or spinal) nucleus, the principal nucleus, and the mesencephalic nucleus. The descending and principal nuclei constitute a column of gray which extends from the entrance of the trigeminal nerve into the rostral part of the spinal cord, where it is continuous with the peripheral part of the dorsal horn.
