2. Spinomesencephalic pathway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinotectal_tract

   The spinomesencephalic pathway, spinomesencephalic tract or spino-quadrigeminal system of Mott, includes a number of ascending tracts in the spinal cord, including the spinotectal tract. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The spinomesencephalic tract is one of the ascending tracts in the anterolateral system of the spinal cord that projects to various parts of ...

4. Vestibulospinal tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulospinal_tract

   Medial vestibulospinal fibers join with the ipsilateral and contralateral medial longitudinal fasciculus, and descend in the anterior funiculus of the spinal cord. [2] [7] Fibers run down to the anterior funiculus to the cervical spinal cord segments and terminate on neurons of laminae VII and VIII. Unlike the lateral vestibulospinal tract, the ...

5. Anterior corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_corticospinal_tract

   The anterior corticospinal tract is usually small, varying inversely in size with the lateral corticospinal tract, which is the main part of the corticospinal tract. It lies close to the anterior median fissure , and is present only in the upper part of the spinal cord; gradually diminishing in size as it descends, it ends about the middle of ...

6. Spinocerebellar tracts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinocerebellar_tracts

   The spinocerebellar tracts are nerve tracts originating in the spinal cord and terminating in the same side (ipsilateral) of the cerebellum. The two main tracts are the dorsal spinocerebellar tract, and the ventral spinocerebellar tract. Both of these tracts are located in the peripheral region of the lateral funiculi (white matter columns). [1]

7. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

   The spinothalamic tract is a nerve tract in the anterolateral system in the spinal cord. [1] This tract is an ascending sensory pathway to the thalamus . From the ventral posterolateral nucleus in the thalamus, sensory information is relayed upward to the somatosensory cortex of the postcentral gyrus .

8. Tectospinal tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectospinal_tract

   In humans, the tectospinal tract (or colliculospinal tract) is a decussating extrapyramidal tract that coordinates head/neck and eye movements. [ 1 ] It arises from the superior colliculus of the mesencephalic (midbrain) tectum , and projects to the cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord levels. [ 2 ]

9. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

   Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...
