Little is known about physiology and morphology of motoneurons and spindle afferents innervating the temporalis and on synaptic connections made between the two. The present study was aimed at investigating the above issues at the light microscopic level by using the intracellular recording and horseradish peroxidase or biotinamide labeling techniques and by the use of succinylcholine (SCh) for the classification of spindle afferents in the cat. Temporalis motoneurons had dendritic trees that ranged from a spherical form to an egg‐shaped form. The shape deformation was more prominent for the dendritic trees made by motoneurons located closer to the nuclear border. No axon collaterals of the motoneurons were detected. On the basis of the values for the dynamic index after SCh infusion, temporalis spindle afferents were classified into two populations: presumptive groups Ia and II. The spindle afferents terminated mainly in the supratrigeminal nucleus (Vsup), region h, and the dorsolateral subdivision (Vmo.dl) of the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vmo). The proportion of group Ia afferent terminals was lower in the Vsup than that of group II afferents. In the Vmo.dl, the proportion of group Ia afferent terminals was nearly even throughout the nucleus, but that of group II afferent terminals increased in the more outlying regions. The proportion of terminal distribution in the central region of Vmo.dl was higher for group Ia than group II. The frequency of contacts (presumptive synapses) made by a single spindle afferent on a motoneuron was higher for group Ia than group II. The present study provided evidence that the central organization of spindle afferent neurons is different between groups Ia and II. J. Comp. Neurol. 406:29–50, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
