The localization of neuronal cell bodies in the trigeminal ganglion for the pulpal nerves of incisors and first and second molars in the rat was determined by utilization of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. Transmedian labeling was found with all teeth, but labeling was greater in the ipsilateral ganglion.
