Thalamic projections from the cerebellar nuclei receiving proprioceptive signals from the jaw muscles in rats

The neural mechanisms involved in transmission of proprioceptive information from muscles are not fully understood. Proprioceptive signals from jaw-closing muscle spindles (jcms) are relayed to the supratrigeminal nucleus (Su5), and, then, from the Su5 to the thalamus including t...
