Phase IIB PHGY 825 Organization of the Brain Stem - Queens U medullary reticular formation Activity in this tract inhibits the firing of spinal and cranial motor neurons and produces a loss of tone – atonia –, as during REM sleep Motor Control The lateral brain stem motor pathways also include: •The rubrospinal tract, which projects to cervical spinal cord and facilitates contralateral arm flexors
Reticular formation: Anatomy and clinical notes - Kenhub There are three groups of cells found throughout the lateral group of reticular nuclei Two of these cell groups are catecholamine based and have been classified as noradrenergic cells A1-A7 (excluding A3 in primates) and adrenergic cells C1 and C2 The third are cholinergic cells Ch5 and Ch6

Neuroanatomy: The Medulla | ditki medical biological sciences Show its anterior posterior orientational plane • Draw the medulla • Cap off its most anterior region with the medullary pyramids: the medullary correlate of the cerebral peduncles, which carry the descending corticospinal tract fibers – they decussate at the cervico-medullary junction

Midsagittal cross-section of cerebellum showing the three primary lobes of the cerebellum Divisions of the cerebellum Two major fissures running mediolaterally divide the cerebellar cortex into three primary subdivisions (Figure 5 2B and Figure 5 3)
Chapter 18 BrainREVISION - University of Minnesota Twin Cities The medial nuclei of the reticular formation contain large neurons that give rise to reticulospinal tracts Axons from the gigantocellular reticular nucleus of the medulla oblongata form the lateral (medullary) reticulospinal tract (tractus reticulospinalis lateralis)
