to attempt recovery of herpes simplex virus from specimens of trigeminal sensory root or Gasserian ganglion removed at operation; and to ascertain whether there is any correlation among the cut ...

Some neurosurgeons advocate for an operation sooner, with the goal of preventing further damage to the trigeminal nerve from unrelieved neurovascular contact. It is unknown whether early versus ...

Calcium is a key element that brain cells use to send electrical signals. While observing the trigeminal ganglion, the researchers would inject a tracer into the mouse's brain to track the flow of ...

In a series of experiments in mice, the researchers showed how CSF transports these proteins to the trigeminal ganglion, a large bundle of nerves that rests at the base of the skull and supplies ...

Their study is published in the Journal of Headache and Pain. "The trigeminal ganglion is involved in pain signaling during headache attacks and we have been able to show that both MERTK and Gal-3 ...
