Lateral proper fasciculus
Encyclopedia
The lateral proper fasciculus (lateral basis bundle) constitutes the remainder of the lateral column, and is continuous in front with the anterior proper fasciculus
.
It consists chiefly of intersegmental fibers which arise from cells in the gray substance
, and, after a longer or shorter course, reënter the gray substance and ramify in it.
Some of its fibers are, however, continued upward into the brain under the name of the medial longitudinal fasciculus
.
Anterior proper fasciculus
The remaining fibers of the anterior funiculus constitute what is termed the anterior proper fasciculus, fasciculus proprius, or fasiculus proprii .It consists of...

Medial longitudinal fasciculus
The medial longitudinal fasciculus is a pair of crossed fiber tracts , one on each side of the brainstem. These bundles of axons are situated near the midline of the brainstem and are composed of both ascending and descending fibers that arise from a number of sources and terminate in different...
