  2. Lateral lemniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_lemniscus

    The lateral lemniscus is a tract of axons in the brainstem that carries information about sound from the cochlear nucleus to various brainstem nuclei and ultimately the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain. Three distinct, primarily inhibitory, cellular groups are located interspersed within these fibers, and are thus named the ...

  3. Lemniscus (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscus_(anatomy)

    A lemniscus (Greek for ribbon or band [1]) is a bundle of secondary sensory fibers in the brainstem. The medial lemniscus and lateral lemniscus terminate in specific relay nuclei of the diencephalon. The trigeminal lemniscus is sometimes considered as the cephalic part of the medial lemniscus. [2] The spinal lemniscus constitutes the ...

  4. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

    For example, in the column, lower limb is medial, upper limb is more lateral. At the medial lemniscus, axons from the leg are more ventral, and axons from the arm are more dorsal. Fibres from the trigeminal nerve (supplying the head) come in dorsal to the arm fibres, and travel up the lemniscus too. The medial lemniscus rotates 90 degrees at ...

  5. Superior olivary complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_olivary_complex

    The output is via the ipsilateral lateral lemniscus to the inferior colliculus. [6] The MSO responds better to binaural stimuli. The MSO's main function is detection of interaural time difference (ITD) cues to binaural lateralization. The MSO is severely disrupted in the autistic brain. [7]

  6. Cochlear nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_nucleus

    The lateral lemniscus contains cells of the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus, and in turn projects to the inferior colliculus. The inferior colliculus receives direct, monosynaptic projections from the superior olivary complex, the contralateral dorsal acoustic stria, some classes of stellate neurons of the VCN, as well as from the different ...

  7. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    The lateral lemniscus is a tract of axons in the brainstem that carries information about sound from the cochlear nucleus to various brainstem nuclei and ultimately the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain.

    Last April, Goodfriend was diagnosed with ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a disease that attacks the nervous system and robs people of their muscle control. The 83-year-old widow spent ...

  9. Interaural time difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaural_time_difference

    The axons from the MSO continue to higher parts of the pathway via the ipsilateral lateral lemniscus tract.(Yost, 2000) The lateral lemniscus (LL) is the main auditory tract in the brainstem connecting SOC to the inferior colliculus. The dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) is a group of neurons separated by lemniscus fibres, these ...
