  2. Hypothalamospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamospinal_tract

    The hypothalamospinal tract is an unmyelinated [1] non-decussated [2] descending nerve tract that arises in the hypothalamus and projects to the brainstem and spinal cord to synapse with pre-ganglionic autonomic (both sympathetic and parasympathetic) neurons. The direct autonomic projections of the hypothalamospinal tract represent a minority ...

  3. Spinoreticular tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoreticular_tract

    Spinoreticular tract. The spinoreticular tract (also paleospinothalamic pathway, or indirect pathway of the anterolateral system) is a partially decussating (crossed-over) four-neuron sensory pathway of the central nervous system. The tract transmits slow nociceptive/pain information (but thermal, and crude touch information as well) from the ...

  4. Neurogenic claudication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_claudication

    Neurogenic claudication (NC), also known as pseudoclaudication, is the most common symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and describes intermittent leg pain from impingement of the nerves emanating from the spinal cord. [1][2] Neurogenic means that the problem originates within the nervous system. Claudication, from Latin claudicare 'to limp ...

  5. Lateral medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_medullary_syndrome

    Lateral medullary syndrome is a neurological disorder causing a range of symptoms due to ischemia in the lateral part of the medulla oblongata in the brainstem. The ischemia is a result of a blockage most commonly in the vertebral artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. [1] Lateral medullary syndrome is also called Wallenberg's ...

  6. Spinohypothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinohypothalamic_tract

    The spinohypothalamic tract or spinohypothalamic fibers is a sensory fiber tract projecting from the spinal cord to the hypothalamus directly to mediate reflex autonomic and endocrine responses to painful stimuli (the hypothalamus receives additional indirect nociceptive projections from the reticular formation (see: spinoreticular tract), and periaqueductal gray (see: spinomesencephalic tract).

  7. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling ...

  8. Hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus

    The hypothalamus (pl.: hypothalami; from Ancient Greek ὑπό (hupó) 'under' and θάλαμος (thálamos) 'chamber') is a small part of the vertebrate brain that contains a number of nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most important functions is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.

  9. Posterolateral tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterolateral_tract

    The posterolateral tract (fasciculus of Lissauer, Lissauer's tract, tract of Lissauer, dorsolateral fasciculus, dorsolateral tract, zone of Lissauer) is a small strand situated in relation to the tip of the posterior column close to the entrance of the posterior nerve roots. It is present throughout the spinal cord, and is most developed in the ...
