Abstract

In some works on the motor nuclei of the cranial nerves, the author considers the heterotopy that the latter undergo during phylogenesis. First of all, the author touched upon the most prominent phenomena: the descent of some visceral-motor nuclei moving in the lateral direction and the ascent of the motor nuclei in the medial-dorsal direction. The present report is devoted to the question of the phylogenetic development of the horizontal femur or branch of the root knee of the facial nerve under the influence of the tectobulbar and pyramidal pathways.
