Article Synopsis
- The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) plays a vital role in transmitting facial sensory information, with its branches affecting sensory receptors in the face.
- This study examined the morphology of maxillary and mandibular canals in both modern and fossil species to understand their importance in the sensory biology of synapsids.
- Results revealed that synapsids evolved from complex, branched canal systems for enhanced tactile sensitivity to simpler canal structures, indicating a shift in tactile functions over time.
