title: The morphology of the axons and axon collaterals of rat jaw-elevator motoneurones.
abstract: We have made intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase into the somata of jaw-elevator motoneurones and subsequently reconstructed the axonal morphology of 4 cells. In each case the axons gave off collaterals which were essentially restricted to the ventral portion of the V motor nucleus. This observation provides the first evidence that these motoneurones may exert recurrent synaptic effects.
