THE CONDUCTIVE TRACTS
THE WHITE MATTER OF THE HEMISPHERES • The white matter occupies the whole space between the grey matter of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. It consist of a great number of nerve fibres stretching in different directions and forming the conduction pathways of the telencephalon.
The following three systems of nerve fibres are distinguished: • the association fibres connect different cortical areas • • of one hemisphere. Short and long fibres are distinguished; the commissural fibres, components of the cerebral commissures, connect symetrical parts of both hemispheres; the projection fibres connect the cerebral cortex partly with the thalamus and the geniculate bodies and partly with the distally located parts of the nervous system, the spinal cord among others. Some of these fibres conduct stimuli centripetally, i. e. toward the cortex. , other, on the contrary, centrifugally.
The conductive tract of temperature and pain sense – lateral spino-thalamical tract • The receptor is situated in • • • the skin first neuron (pseudounipolar cells) is in spinal ganglion the second neuron is in the nucleus proprius of the posterior horns third neurons are in the dorsal lateral nucleus of the thalamus
Conductive tract of touch and pressure sensitivity – anterior spino-thalamical tract • The receptor is situated in the • • • skin first neuron (pseudounipolar cells) is in spinal ganglion second neurons are located in the substantia gelatinosa of the posterior horn of the spinal cord the third neurons cells are situated in the dorsal latersl nucleus of the thalamus
The conductive tract of proprioceptic sensitivity of cortical direction – tractus bulbothalamicus • Receptor are situeted in • • • the muscles, tendons, joint capsules and ligaments first neurons are in the spinal ganglions second neurons are in the nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus the third neurons cells are in the dorsal lateral nucleus of the thalamus
The conductive tracts of proprioceptic sensitivity of cerebellum direction The dorsal spinocerebellar tract or Flexig ۥ s fascicle • first neurons are in the spinal ganglion • second neurons are in the thoracic nucleus (Clarke ۥ s column) • the third neurons cells are vermis cortex
The anterior spinocerebellar tract or Gower ۥ s tract • first neurons are in • • spinal ganglions second neurons are in the nucleus intermedius medialis third neurons are In the cortex of vermis
Corticonuclear tract • first neurons are in • giant pyramidal cells (Bets’s cells) second neurons are in motor nucleusees of the IX, X, XII cranial nerves of the opposite side
Lateral and anterior corticospinal tracts • first neurons are in • giant pyramidal cells of higher two thirds of the precentral gyrus second neurons are in motor nucleuses of the anterior horn
Rubrospinal tract (Monakov’s) • first neurons are in • the red nucleus second neurons are in motor neurons of the anterior horns
The corticopontinocerebellar tract • the first neurons • are in the cerebral cortex the second neurons are nuclei proprii pontis
