title: Anatomical localization of corneal afferent cells in the trigeminal ganglion.
abstract: Corneal afferent cells were identified in the trigeminal ganglion in the cat and monkey by the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. The corneal cells were found only in the ophthalmic portion of the ganglion and were scattered randomly within that division. These data are compatible with clinical and other experimental descriptions of the organization of the trigeminal ganglion and sensory root.
