Abstract
A study of the facial motor nucleus of the dog by means of cytoarchitectonic and computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction methods has been made. We identified three regions in this structure: lateral, intermediate and medial. Taking into account the different patterns of neuron aggregation, the following subdivisions were noted: in the first, the ventrolateral and dorsolateral subnuclei; in the second, the intermediate subnucleus, and in the third, the ventromedial, intermediate-medial and dorsomedial subnuclei.Their cytological characteristics are described.Keywords
