  • Chorda tympani fibers emerge from the pons of the brainstem as part of the intermediate nerve of the facial nerve. (wikipedia.org)
  • Within the facial canal, chorda tympani branches off the facial nerve and enters the lateral wall of the tympanic cavity within the middle ear, where it runs across the tympanic membrane (from posterior to anterior) and medial to the neck of the malleus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Traveling with the lingual nerve, the fibers of chorda tympani enter the sublingual space to reach the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and submandibular ganglion. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chorda tympani carries two types of nerve fibers from their origin from the facial nerve to the lingual nerve that carries them to their destinations: Special sensory fibers providing taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. (wikipedia.org)
  • Relating research results to humans is therefore not always consistent.Sodium chloride is detected and recognized most by the chorda tympani nerve. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chorda tympani is less responsive to sucrose than is the greater petrosal nerve. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chorda tympani nerve carries its information to the nucleus of solitary tract, and shares this area with the greater petrosal, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. (wikipedia.org)
  • When the greater petrosal and glossopharyngeal nerves are cut, regardless of age, the chorda tympani nerve takes over the space in the terminal field. (wikipedia.org)
  • This takeover of space by the chorda tympani is believed to be the nerve reverting to its original state before competition and pruning. (wikipedia.org)
  • In a bilateral transection of the chorda tympani in mice, the preference for sodium chloride increases compared to before the transection. (wikipedia.org)
  • This explains part of the change in preference of sodium chloride after a chorda tympani transection. (wikipedia.org)
  • Injury to the chorda tympani nerve leads to loss or distortion of taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chorda tympani appears to exert a particularly strong inhibitory influence on other taste nerves, as well as on pain fibers in the tongue. (wikipedia.org)
  • When the chorda tympani is damaged, its inhibitory function is disrupted, leading to less inhibited activity in the other nerves. (wikipedia.org)

  • Most visceral peritoneum sensory information is conveyed via the vagus nerve to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). (bvsalud.org)
  • Our study underlines the role of the vagus nerve in the transmission of an acute visceral pain message and confirmed that systemic bupivacaine prevents noxious stimuli by inhibiting c-Fos and microglia activation. (bvsalud.org)
  • The gasserian ganglion contains the cell bodies of sensory fibers in the oph-thalmic, maxillary, and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve. (brainkart.com)
  • The special sensory fibers originate from the taste buds in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and carry taste information to the nucleus of solitary tract of the brainstem, where taste information from facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves is integrated. (wikipedia.org)
