  2. Schaffer collateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaffer_collateral

    The Schaffer collateral is located between the CA3 region and CA1 region in the hippocampus. Schaffer collaterals are the axons of pyramidal cells that connect two neurons (CA3 and CA1) and transfer information from CA3 to CA1. [5] [6] The entorhinal cortex sends the main input to the dentate gyrus (perforant pathway).

  3. Sympathetic ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_ganglia

    The sympathetic ganglia, or paravertebral ganglia, are autonomic ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. Ganglia are 20,000 to 30,000 afferent and efferent nerve cell bodies that run along on either side of the spinal cord. Afferent nerve cell bodies bring information from the body to the brain and spinal cord, while efferent nerve cell ...

  4. Prevertebral ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevertebral_ganglia

    Prevertebral ganglia (or collateral ganglia, [1] or preaortic ganglia [2]) are sympathetic ganglia situated along the midline, anterior to the aorta and the vertebral column. The prevertebral ganglia are the celiac ganglia (including the aorticorenal ganglia ), the superior mesenteric ganglion , and the inferior mesenteric ganglion .

  5. Stratum lucidum of hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum_lucidum_of_hippocampus

    They receive synaptic inputs from mossy fibers boutons, as well as multiple other synaptic terminals. The majority of axon collaterals of these neurons remain in the stratum lucidum and CA3 region, though in some cases axon collaterals of these neurons are observed migrating into the CA1 region of the hippocampus.

  6. Trisynaptic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisynaptic_circuit

    The trisynaptic circuit or trisynaptic loop is a relay of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus.The trisynaptic circuit is a neural circuit in the hippocampus, which is made up of three major cell groups: granule cells in the dentate gyrus, pyramidal neurons in CA3, and pyramidal neurons in CA1.

  7. Sympathicolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathicolysis

    The sympathetic nervous system causes the balance of the autonomic system to lean towards narrowing of blood vessels, with elimination of its function resulting in vasodilatation. Completely blocked arteries are not opened again, but the collaterals are better supplied with blood.

  8. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  9. Axon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon

    In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by glial cells known as Schwann cells. In the central nervous system the myelin sheath is provided by another type of glial cell, the oligodendrocyte. Schwann cells myelinate a single axon. An oligodendrocyte can myelinate up to 50 axons. [18] The composition of myelin is different in the ...
