Medullary striae of fourth ventricle
Winding around the inferior peduncle and crossing the area acustica and the medial eminence are a number of white strands the striae medullares which form a portion of the cochlear […]
Dorsal column nuclei
In neuroanatomy the dorsal column nuclei are a pair of nuclei in the brainstem. The name refers collectively to the cuneate nucleus and gracile nucleus which are present at the […]
Neural stem cell
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing multipotent cells that generate the main phenotypes of the nervous system. Stem cells are characterized by their capability to differentiate into multiple cell types […]

Ansa lenticularis
The ansa lenticularis (ansa lentiformis in older texts) is a part of the brain making up the superior layer of the substantia innominata of Meynert. Its fibers derived from the […]
Mammillothalamic fasciculus
The mammillothalamic fasciculus (mammillothalamic tract thalamomammillary fasciculus bundle of Vicq d’Azyr) arises from cells in both the medial and lateral nuclei of the mammillary body and by fibers that are […]
Internal arcuate fibers
Internal arcuate fibers are the axons of second-order neurons contained within the gracile and cuneate nuclei of the medulla oblongata. These fibers cross (decussate) from one side of the medulla […]
Posterior external arcuate fibers
The posterior external arcuate fibers (dorsal external arcuate fibers) take origin in the gracile and cuneate nuclei; they pass to the inferior peduncle of the same side.It is uncertain whether […]
