Cuneocerebellar Tract
Cerebellar input from the spinal cord (from the rostral half of the body, excepting the head).
Originates within rostral trunk and forelimbs.
|
 |
Slide 31 : Rostral Medulla Oblongata
Axons enter the verticle part of inferior cerebellar peduncle and give off a collateral to deep cerebellar nuclei with the parent axon synapsing in the granule cell layer. Along the way, it sends collaterals to the interpositus and fastigial nuclei. |
 |
Slide 26 : Middle Medulla Oblongata
At the level of the middle medulla oblongata, the axons enter the inferior cerebellar peduncle. |
 |
Slide 24 : Middle Medulla Oblongata The axons are ascending throught the DSCT. |
 |
Slide 16 : Middle Medulla Oblongata
The axons ascend the dorsal funiculus and synapse within the accessory cuneate nucleus. Accessory cuneate neurons then continue the tract.
Slide 7 : Sixth Cervical Spinal Cord Segment
Proprioceptors and exteroceptors from the neck, forelimbs and upper trunk enter the spinal cord and collateral pass into the dorsal funiculus of cervical cord segments.
