title: Computer-generated three-dimensional visualization of the trigeminal nuclear complex.
abstract: The spatial configuration of the trigeminal nuclear complex has been determined using new computer techniques aided by color graphic display facilities. Precise, statistical computer-generated drawings are provided of the three-dimensional anatomy of the nuclear complex and spinal tract of the fifth cranial nerve, as well as adjacent structures. Techniques for viewing these structures from variable directions and producing stereopairs are presented.
