  2. Solitary nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_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 ...

  3. Solitariospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitariospinal_tract

    The solitariospinal tract is a descending nerve tract that controls breathing by promoting the action of inspiratory muscles (note that exhalation is usually passive [1]).It consists of a small group of axons originating in the nucleus solitarius of the medulla oblongata, and projects to the motor neurons of the phrenic nerve (which innervate the thoracic diaphragm) and of motor neurons of the ...

  4. Solitary tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_tract

    The solitary tract (tractus solitarius or fasciculus solitarius) is a compact fiber bundle that extends longitudinally through the posterolateral region of the medulla oblongata. The solitary tract is surrounded by the solitary nucleus, and descends to the upper cervical segments of the spinal cord. It was first named by Theodor Meynert in 1872.

  5. Gustatory nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustatory_nucleus

    A close association between the gustatory nucleus and visceral information exists for this function in the gustatory system, assisting in homeostasis - via the identification of food that might be possibly poisonous or harmful for the body. [3] There are many gustatory nuclei in the brain stem.

  7. Nucleoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoplasm

    Many important cell functions take place in the nucleus, more specifically in the nucleoplasm. The main function of the nucleoplasm is to provide the proper environment for essential processes that take place in the nucleus, serving as the suspension substance for all organelles inside the nucleus, and storing the structures that are used in ...

  8. Special visceral afferent fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_visceral_afferent...

    Special visceral afferent fibers (SVA) are afferent fibers that develop in association with the gastrointestinal tract. [1] They carry the special sense of taste (gustation). ). The cranial nerves containing SVA fibers are the facial nerve (VII), the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and the vagus nerve (X

  9. HVC (avian brain region) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVC_(avian_brain_region)

    HVC is located in the caudal nidopallium.It projects to the song motor pathway via the robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA) and to the Anterior Forebrain Pathway via the basal ganglia nucleus Area X. [1] It receives recurrent motor activity through the thalamic nucleus Uvaformis (Uva) and input from the auditory system through projections from the caudalateral mesopallium (CMM) and through ...
