However, research on the sensory system of the ocular surface has focused mainly on the peripheral axons of the trigeminal ganglia neurons, leaving information processing in the central nervous system ...

It’s found in pain-sensing nerve fibers that run alongside meningeal blood vessels and in the trigeminal ganglia near the base of the skull where many nerves are rooted. The molecule is a ...

and the mandibular nerve—converge in the trigeminal nerve at an area called the trigeminal ganglion to bring sensory information into the brain. The trigeminal ganglion is located on the inside of the ...

Research has shown that HSV-1, the virus responsible for cold sores, can spread into specific areas of the brain and may ...

[28] but the physical state of HSV-2 DNA and HSV-2 gene expression in latently infected human ganglia have not been studied nearly as extensively as the characteristics of HSV-1 in trigeminal ...

The most common sites are thoracic, and in the cutaneous distribution of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. VZV reactivation from the geniculate (seventh cranial nerve) ganglion can ...

Figure 1. Schematic depicting the effects of noxious stimulation of the masseter muscles on the expression of ion channels in the trigeminal ganglia and subnucleus caudalis. Initially, pain arising ...

During his career Dr. Levine has concentrated on complex and minimally invasive spine surgery, facial pain, trigeminal neuralgia ... of the Pulse Generator and Leads for Dorsal Root Ganglion ...

Background: The diagnosis of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) in radiology lacks the gold standard and largely depends on the identification of neurovascular compression (NVC) using magnetic ...
