The dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve (or posterior nucleus of vagus nerve or dorsal vagal nucleus or nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi or nucleus posterior nervi vagi) [1] is a cranial nerve nucleus of the vagus nerve (CN X) situated in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem ventral to the floor of the fourth ventricle.
Micrograph of the posterior portion of the open part of the medulla oblongata, showing the fourth ventricle (top of image) and the hypoglossal nucleus (medial - left of image) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (lateral - right of image). H&E-LFB stain. Hypoglossal nucleus (XII) - motor; Dorsal motor nucleus of vagus nerve (X ...
The dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DCML) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (PCML) is the major sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (body position) from the skin and joints.
Medial habenular nucleus → fasciculus retroflexus → interpeduncular nucleus of midbrain → midbrain reticular formation → dorsal longitudinal fasciculus → autonomic pre-ganglionic neurons. This pathway is involved in the autonomic regulation of mastication (chewing), deglutition (swallowing), and salivary and gastrointestinal secretory ...
Dorsal cochlear nucleus, a cortex-like structure on the dorso-lateral surface of the brainstem; Dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve, a cranial nerve nucleus for the vagus nerve; Dorsal raphe nucleus; Lateral dorsal nucleus of thalamus; Medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus; Posterior thoracic nucleus (or dorsal nucleus), is a group of interneurons found ...
The posterior thoracic nucleus is a major relay center for unconscious proprioception. Sensory information from muscle spindles and tendon organs is carried by axons of larger neurons in dorsal root ganglia, which synapse onto neurons in the spinal cord including the posterior thoracic nucleus.
The solitary nucleus (SN) (nucleus of the solitary tract, nucleus solitarius, or nucleus tractus solitarii) is a series of neurons whose cell bodies form a roughly vertical column of grey matter in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem. Their axons form the bulk of the enclosed solitary tract. The solitary nucleus can be divided into different ...
The gracile nucleus is medial to the cuneate nucleus. [5] Its neurons receive afferent input from dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons of the lower torso and the lower limbs . [ 5 ] The gracile nucleus and gracile fasciculus carry epicritic , kinesthetic , and conscious proprioceptive information from the lower part of the body (below the level ...
