  2. Lateral medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_medullary_syndrome

    Medulla oblongata, shown by a transverse section passing through the middle of the olive. (Lateral medullary syndrome can affect structures in upper left: #9=vagus nerve, #10=acoustic nucleus, #12=nucleus gracilis, #13=nucleus cuneatus, #14=head of posterior column and lower sensory root of trigeminal nerve and #19=Ligula.) Specialty: Neurology

  3. Vestibular nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_nuclei

    The vestibular nuclei (VN) are the cranial nuclei for the vestibular nerve located in the brainstem. In Terminologia Anatomica , they are grouped in both the pons and the medulla in the brainstem .

  4. Solitary nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_nucleus

    The solitary nucleus receives general visceral and special visceral inputs from the facial nerve (CN VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) and vagus nerve (CN X); it receives and relays stimuli related to taste and visceral sensation. It sends outputs to various parts of the brain, such as the hypothalamus, thalamus, and reticular formation ...

  5. Cranial nerve nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerve_nucleus

    A cranial nerve nucleus is a collection of neurons (gray matter) in the brain stem that is associated with one or more of the cranial nerves. Axons carrying information to and from the cranial nerves form a synapse first at these nuclei .

  6. Table of cranial nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_cranial_nerves

    V 1 (ophthalmic nerve) is located in the superior orbital fissure V 2 (maxillary nerve) is located in the foramen rotundum. V 3 (mandibular nerve) is located in the foramen ovale. Receives sensation from the face, mouth and nasal cavity, and innervates the muscles of mastication. VI Abducens: Mainly motor Nuclei lying under the floor of the ...

  7. Bulbar palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbar_palsy

    In contrast, pseudobulbar palsy is a clinical syndrome similar to bulbar palsy but in which the damage is located in upper motor neurons of the corticobulbar tracts in the mid-pons (i.e., in the cranial nerves IX-XII), that is the nerve cells coming down from the cerebral cortex innervating the motor nuclei in the medulla.

  8. Spinal trigeminal nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_trigeminal_nucleus

    The spinal trigeminal nucleus is a nucleus in the medulla that receives information about deep/crude touch, pain, and temperature from the ipsilateral face. In addition to the trigeminal nerve (CN V), the facial (CN VII), glossopharyngeal (CN IX), and vagus nerves (CN X) also convey pain information from their areas to the spinal trigeminal nucleus. [1]

  9. Medial medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_medullary_syndrome

    Medial medullary syndrome, also known as inferior alternating syndrome, hypoglossal alternating hemiplegia, lower alternating hemiplegia, [1] or Dejerine syndrome, [2] is a type of alternating hemiplegia characterized by a set of clinical features resulting from occlusion of the anterior spinal artery.
