dorsal column

The book includes author's experience with dorsal column stimulator implant.

Together the gracile and cuneate form the dorsal column in the spine.

Sensory neurons have axons that run from the toes to the dorsal columns, over 1.5 meters in adults.

Dorsal column: Loss of vibratory and proprioceptive sensation occurs.

Somatosensory evoked potentials provide monitoring for the dorsal columns of the spinal cord.

A role for the dorsal column in nociceptive visceral input into the thalamus of primates.

(On degenerative atrophy of the spinal dorsal columns).

The dorsal column nuclei, which contain the gracile and cuneate nuclei.

Electrical stimulation of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord (fig. 6) can produce analgesia.

So the sensation travels from the skin, along the axon, past the neuronal cell body, and into the dorsal column of the spinal cord.

This is generally caused by dysfunction of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord, because they carry proprioceptive information up to the brain.

Conditions affecting the dorsal columns of the spinal cord, such as tabes dorsalis (neurosyphilis), in which it was first described.

In neuroanatomy, the dorsal column nuclei are a pair of nuclei in the brainstem.

The representation of the dermatomal level in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord is much higher than the corresponding vertebral level.

The sign suggests a lesion of the dorsal columns of the cervical cord or of the caudal medulla.

During a complete occlusion of the ventral artery of the spinal cord, it is the only tract spared along with the dorsal columns.

The posterior column (dorsal column) refers to the area of white matter in the dorsomedial side of the spinal cord.

When posterior spinal artery syndrome does occur, dorsal columns are damaged and ischemia may spread into the posterior horns.

HIV-associated vacuolar myelopathy can present with a similar pattern of dorsal column and corticospinal tract demyelination.

The degenerating nerves are in the dorsal columns (posterior columns) of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body).

It was initially used for testing the tolerance of chronic pain patients to electrical stimulation before implantation of electrodes in the spinal cord dorsal column.

One of the dorsal column nuclei, the cuneate nucleus is a wedge-shaped nucleus in the closed part of the medulla oblongata.

A hemisection of the spinal cord results in transection of both ipsilateral dorsal column and lateral funiculus; this produces Brown-Sequard syndrome.

The Romberg test is a test of the body's sense of positioning (proprioception), which requires healthy functioning of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord.

In the dorsal column-medial leminiscus tract, a primary neuron's axon enters the spinal cord and then enters the dorsal column.
