  2. Mammillotegmental fasciculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammillotegmental_fasciculus

    The mammillotegmental fasciculus emerges from the principal mammillary fasciculus of the mammillary body and travels dorsally together with the mammillothalamic tract before splitting off and turning caudally to enter the spinal column.

    Axons divide within the gray matter; the thicker fibres form the MTT while the finer branches descend as the mammillotegmental fasciculus. [3] The MTT spreads fan-like as it terminates in the medial dorsal nucleus. [3] The axons from these nuclei form part of the thalamocortical radiations. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammillary_body

    Damage to the mammillary bodies due to thiamine deficiency is implied in pathogenesis of Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome.Symptoms include impaired memory, also called anterograde amnesia, suggesting that the mammillary bodies may be important for memory.

    It is located anterior and lateral to the medial longitudinal fasciculus. [citation needed] It is continuous caudally with the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi. [4] The PPRF (and adjacent regions of the pons) are traversed by fibers projecting to the abducens nucleus that mediate smooth pursuit, vestibular reflexes, and gaze holding. [5]: 498

  6. Pallidothalamic tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallidothalamic_tracts

    The lenticular fasciculus is composed of fibers that pass from the internal part of the globus pallidus, through the posterior limb of the internal capsule, around the zona incerta. These fibers connect with the fibers of the ansa lenticularis in the field H of Forel to form the thalamic fasciculus.

  7. Sensory decussation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_decussation

    The two nuclei receive the impulse from the two ascending tracts: fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus. After the two tracts terminate upon these nuclei, the heavily myelinated fibres arise and ascend anteromedially around the periaqueductal gray as internal arcuate fibres. These fibres decussate (cross) to the contralateral (opposite ...

  8. Nerve tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_tract

    White matter tracts within a human brain, as visualized by MRI tractography. A nerve tract is a bundle of nerve fibers connecting nuclei of the central nervous system. [1] [2] [3] In the peripheral nervous system, this is known as a nerve fascicle, and has associated connective tissue.

  9. Dorsal column nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column_nuclei

    The gracile nucleus and gracile fasciculus carry epicritic, kinesthetic, and conscious proprioceptive information from the lower part of the body (below the level of T6 in the spinal cord). Because of the large population of neurons in the gracile nucleus they give rise to a raised area called the gracile tubercle on the posterior side of the ...
