Abstract:
Pit vipers detect infrared (IR) radiation with loreal pit organs [1] that are connected to the hindbrain by trigeminal nerve fibers [2-4]. The pattern of central afferent termination forms a topographical representation of the sensory periphery within the nucleus of the lateral descending trigeminal tract (LTTD) [4-7]. All LTTD neurons project to another specialized, ipsilateral hindbrain area, the nucleus reticularis caloris (RC) [8-11], before IR signals are integrated with vi- sual signals in...     »
