  2. Rostral ventromedial medulla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostral_ventromedial_medulla

    The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), or ventromedial nucleus of the spinal cord, [1] [2] is a group of neurons located close to the midline on the floor of the medulla oblongata. The rostral ventromedial medulla sends descending inhibitory and excitatory fibers to the dorsal horn spinal cord neurons. [3]

  3. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

    The axons travel up the length of the spinal cord into the brainstem, specifically the rostral ventromedial medulla. Traveling up the brainstem, the tract moves dorsally. The neurons ultimately synapse with third-order neurons in several nuclei of the thalamus—including the medial dorsal, ventral posterior lateral, and ventral posterior ...

  4. Rostral ventrolateral medulla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostral_ventrolateral_medulla

    The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), also known as the pressor area of the medulla, is a part of the ventrolateral medulla in the brainstem responsible for basal and reflex control of sympathetic activity associated with cardiovascular function. [1]

  5. Gigantocellular reticular nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantocellular_reticular...

    The gigantocellular reticular nucleus (also magnocellular reticular nucleus) is the (efferent/motor) medial zone of the reticular formation of the caudal pons and rostral medulla oblongata. It consists of a substantial number of giant neurons, but also contains small and medium sized neurons. [1]

    Rostral ventromedial medulla, a group of neurons in the medulla oblongata; Real-valued measurable, an axiom asserting the existence of a real-valued measurable cardinal number; Reference Verification Methodology, a method for functional verification of complex designs; Relevance vector machine, a machine learning technique.

  8. Ventrolateral medulla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrolateral_medulla

    The ventrolateral medulla consists of a rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and a caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). [2] Neurons in the RVLM project directly to preganglionic neurons in the spinal cord and maintain tonic activity in the sympathetic vasomotor nerves. This activity is inhibited by GABA output from the CVLM. [3] [4]

  9. Internal arcuate fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_arcuate_fibers

    Upon decussation (crossing over) from one side of the medulla to the other, also known as the sensory decussation, they are then called the medial lemniscus. The internal arcuate fibers are part of the second-order neurons of the posterior column-medial lemniscus system , and are important for relaying the sensation of fine touch and ...
