The J.O.R. elecitied by pulpal, palatal or periodontal stimulations was recorded on the cat digastric nerve. As shown by the frontal sections of the brain stem the caudal subnucleus is not directly involved in this reflex. However after exclusion of the more rostral part of the interpolar subnucleus the pulpal induced J.O.R. is abolished although the palatal or periodontal induced J.O.R. is only partially suppressed.
