Although more rare than horizontal, one-and-a-half syndrome from damage to the paramedian pontine reticular formation and the medial longitudinal fasciculus can be shown to affect vertical gaze.
12.
A second set of fibres from the medial and lateral nuclei end partly in the tegmentum, while the remainder ascend in the medial longitudinal fasciculus to arborize around the cells of the nuclei of the oculomotor nerve.
13.
There are major white matter pathway connections with the superior parietal lobule such as the Cingulum, SLF I, superior parietal lobule connections of the Middle longitudinal fasciculus and other newly described superior parietal white matter connections.
14.
In special cases, where only one eye deviates and the other does not, this often indicates a lesion ( or damage ) of the medial longitudinal fasciculus ( MLF ), which is a brainstem nerve tract.
15.
The existence of this fasciculus independent from the occipitotemporal fasciculus has been questioned for the human being, such that it has been proposed that the term inferior longitudinal fasciculus be replaced by the term " occipitotemporal projection ".
16.
Analysis of diffusion images showed that the visual word form area ( VWFA ) is connected to the occipital lobe via the inferior longitudinal fasciculus ( ILF ), a projection that runs between the temporal and occipital lobe.
17.
The control of conjugate gaze is mediated in the brainstem by the medial longitudinal fasciculus ( MLF ), a nerve tract that connects the three extraocular motor nuclei ( abducens, trochlear and oculomotor ) into a single functional unit.
18.
Internuclear ophthalmoplegia occurs when MS affects a part of the brain stem called the medial longitudinal fasciculus, which is responsible for communication between the two eyes by connecting the abducens nucleus of one side to the oculomotor nucleus of the opposite side.
19.
The "'dorsal longitudinal fasciculus "'( DLF ) ( not to be confused with the medial longitudinal fasciculus, nor the superior longitudinal fasciculus ) is a white matter fiber tract located within the brain stem, specifically in the dorsal brainstem tegmentum.
