THE CONDUCTIVE TRACTS

THE WHITE MATTER OF THE HEMISPHERES • The white matter occupies the whole space

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

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.
