| 11. | The lateral lemniscus is located where the cochlear nuclei and the pontine reticular formation ( PRF ) crossover.
|
| 12. | Additional projection targets include the dorsal and ventral nuclei of the lateral lemniscus ( DNLL & VNLL ).
|
| 13. | The axons of the nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus in the medial lemniscus have cell bodies that lie contralaterally.
|
| 14. | At this point, second order neurons decussate and relay information through the contralateral medial lemniscus to the thalamus.
|
| 15. | This includes the corticospinal tract ( motor ), the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway ( crude touch ).
|
| 16. | From the principal nucleus, secondary fibers cross the midline and ascend in the trigeminal lemniscus to the contralateral thalamus.
|
| 17. | At the medulla, the medial lemniscus is orientated perpendicular to the way the fibres travelled in the posterior columns.
|
| 18. | The posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is responsible for relaying sensory information regarding proprioception, vibration, and fine touch.
|
| 19. | At the medial lemniscus, axons from the leg are more ventral, and axons from the arm are more dorsal.
|
| 20. | The majority of the ascending fibers from the lateral lemniscus project to IC, which means major ascending auditory pathways converge here.
