Medial medullary syndrome; Other names: Inferior alternating syndrome: Medulla oblongata, shown by a transverse section passing through the middle of the olive. (Medial medullary syndrome can affect structures in lower left: especially #5, #6, #8.) Specialty: Neurology Diagnostic method
medial vestibular nucleus (dorsal or chief vestibular nucleus) medulla (floor of fourth ventricle) corresponding to the lower part of the area acustica in the rhomboid fossa; [citation needed] the caudal end of this nucleus is sometimes termed the descending or spinal vestibular nucleus. This nucleus is sometimes termed the nucleus of Schwalbe.
Between the two pyramids can be seen a decussation of fibers which marks the transition from the medulla to the spinal cord. The medulla is above the decussation and the spinal cord below. From behind The appearance of a cadaveric brainstem from behind, with major parts labelled. The most medial part of the medulla is the posterior median sulcus.
The nucleus ambiguus ("ambiguous nucleus" in English) is a group of large motor neurons, situated deep in the medullary part of the reticular formation named by Jacob Clarke. [1] The nucleus ambiguus contains the cell bodies of neurons that innervate the muscles of the soft palate , pharynx , and larynx which are associated with speech and ...
The medial vestibular nucleus (Schwalbe nucleus) is one of the vestibular nuclei. It is located in the medulla oblongata . Lateral vestibulo-spinal tract (lateral vestibular nucleus “Deiters”)- via ventrolateral medulla and spinal cord to ventral funiculus (lumbo-sacral segments). ..
According to him, the third part, the neocortex, controls speech and reasoning and is the most recent evolutionary arrival. [41] The concept of the limbic system has since been further expanded and developed by Walle Nauta , Lennart Heimer , and others.
The ventral portion of the medulla oblongata contains the medullary pyramids. These two ridge-like structures travel along the length of the medulla oblongata and are bordered medially by the anterior median fissure. They each have an anterolateral sulcus along their lateral borders, where the hypoglossal nerve emerges from.
The medial geniculate nucleus divides into: ventral (relay and relay-inhibitory cells: frequency, intensity, and binaural info topographically relayed), dorsal (broad and complex tuned nuclei: connection to somatosensory info), and; medial (broad, complex, and narrow tuned nuclei: relay intensity and sound duration).
