fasciculus cuneatus

If the axon enters above level T6, then it travels in the fasciculus cuneatus, which is lateral to the fasiculus gracilis.

The lower part of the medulla, immediately lateral to the fasciculus cuneatus, is marked by another longitudinal elevation known as the tuberculum cinereum.

Moving laterally on each side is the fasciculus gracilis, and lateral to that is the fasciculus cuneatus.

These fibers are pushed in towards the posterior medial sulcus to form the fasciculus gracilis and the fasciculus cuneatus.

The Fasciculus cuneatus tract is composed of first-order neurons that synapse onto second-order neurons in the brain stem.

These are the fasciculus gracilis, lying medially next to the midline, and the fasciculus cuneatus, lying laterally.

Column of Burdach - fasciculus cuneatus; the lateral portion of the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord.

It is made up of the fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus and itself is part of the dorsal funiculus.

The Fasciculus cuneatus transmits fine touch, fine pressure, vibration, and proprioception information from spinal nerves located in dermatomes C through T.

It is an elevation in the lower part of medulla, lateral to the fasciculus cuneatus, produced by a mass of grey matter called the spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve.

The fasciculus cuneatus is triangular on transverse section, and lies between the fasciculus gracilis and the posterior column, its base corresponding with the surface of the medulla spinalis.

The lesion to fasciculus gracilis or fasciculus cuneatus results in ipsilateral loss of vibration and proprioception (position sense) as well as loss of all sensation of fine touch.

The fasciculus cuneatus (tract of Burdach, named for Karl Friedrich Burdach) is a tract of nerves in the spinal cord that primarily transmits information from the arms.

This area includes the dorsal columns (also called the posterior columns) which contains the fasciculus gracilis and, higher in the body, the fasciculus cuneatus, which are separated by a partition of glial cells.

Joint capsules, tactile and pressure receptors send a signal through the dorsal root ganglia up through the fasciculus gracilis for lower body sensory impulses and the fasciculus cuneatus for upper body impulses.

Once the fasciculus gracilis reaches the nucleus gracilis and the fasciculus cuneatus reaches the nucleus cuneatus in the lower medulla, they begin to cross over the medulla as the internal arcuate fibers.
