66. : Medial longitudinal fasciculus: A window on axonal function in multiple sclerosis - ScienceDirectThis study aims to inform the pathophysiology of axonal dysfunction in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (
The smaller pontine tegmentum contains the nuclei of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), abducens nerve (CN VI), facial nerve (CN VII) and vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), as well as several white matter tracts like the medial longitudinal fasciculus, medial and lateral lemnisci, and others. Nee...
Those pathways are largely involved in mediating eye movements, especially the VOR, controlled by projections from the vestibular nuclei via the medial longitudinal fasciculus to the nuclei of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI. Pathways also project rostrally via the medial geniculate and ventroposterior...
it has a roughly spherical shape and is encapsulated by the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP), which traverses it (Fig.3). Other white matter tracts passing through RN are the 3rd cranial nerve, that runs along its surface, and the fasciculus retroflexus, that penetrates it at the rostral...
SLF = superior longitudinal fasciculus; F-P = fronto-parietal lobules; L = left; R = right; PC = participation coefficient; WMD = within-module degree. Bonferroni correction sets the significance level of 0.00625 to correct for the false- discovery bias inherent in ...

Common CC was related to greater volume of the right middle frontal gyrus/frontal pole and to fractional anisotropy of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus, connecting the frontal lobes to other regions of posterior neocortex, including the parietal lobes. Updating-specific ability was linked to...
2013)], the medial longitudinal fasciculus (part of the motor system), the nigrostriatal tract [major dopaminergic pathway involved in expectation and delivery of food rewards (Ogura et al. 2015)], and the quintofrontal tract [afferent component in the control of mandibulation (Kuenzel 1982)]....
threshold of ≤0.005 (calculated using the Bonferroni method to adjust for multiple comparisons). All 10 ROI were found to significantly correlate with the walking speed score at p < 0.005 (rho values between 0.279 and 0.426), except in the superior longitudinal fasciculus (p = 0.035)...
The origin and synaptic effects of these spiral fibers have not been studied previously. When goldfish M cells were filled with Lucifer yellow, presynaptic spiral fibers were seen in the axon cap. These fibers could be traced back through the medial longitudinal fasciculus to their somata, near ...
