The spinocerebellar tract is a set of axonal fibers originating in the spinal cord and terminating in the cerebellum. This tract conveys information to the cerebellum for movement coordination. This tract is mainly segregated into two major subdivisions: the dorsal spinocerebellar tract and the ventral spinocerebellar tract. An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, which conducts electrical impulses away from the neurons cell body or soma. ... The spinal cord is a part of the vertebrate nervous system that is enclosed in and protected by the vertebral column (it passes through the spinal canal). ... Cerebellum (in blue) of the human brain For assistance with anatomical location terms, see Anatomical terms of location The cerebellum (literally little brain) is a brain region important for the integration of sensory perception with motor output. ... The dorsal spinocerebellar tract conveys proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum. ... The ventral spinocerebellar tract conveys proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum. ...
cerebellospinal tract, uncinate fasciculus of the cerebellum, from the fastigial nucleus to the cervical cord.
corticonuclear tract, the nerve fiber tract formed by fibers (corticonuclear fibers) of the pyramidal tract that arise in the cerebral cortex, descend in the internal capsule, and synapse in the various motor nuclei of the mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata.
thalamo-olivary tract, a bundle of fibers descending from the thalamus to the olivary nucleus.
The descending fibers in the spinal tract of the trigeminal terminating in the nucleus of the tract probably establish relations through connecting neurons with motor nuclei in the anterior column of the spinal cord and with motor nuclei of the medulla.
Voluntary impulses from the cerebral cortex are conveyed by terminals and collaterals of the pyramidal tract of the opposite side, indirectly, that is with the interpolation of a connecting neuron, to the facial nucleus.
The majority of the axons that arise from the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb and course in the olfactory tract course in the lateral olfactory stria to the uncus and hippocampal gyrus, and terminate in the cortex.
