gracile fasciculus

The term gracile fasciculus refers to a bundle of ascending fibers that make up the medial portion of the posterior white column of the spinal cord. The fibers arise from all levels of the cord and terminate in the gracile nucleus ( Carpenter-1983 ). The gracile fasciculus includes the gracile fasciculus of the spinal cord and the gracile fasciculus of the medulla.

Also known as: Fasciculus gracilis (Goll), Tractus spinobulbaris medialis, gracile fasciculus, Fasciculus gracilis, gracile fascicle, fasciculus of Goll, Funiculus gracilis, tract of Gall, column of Goll, Pars medialis fasciculi dorsalis (Goll), Tractus spinobulbaris partis medialis (Goll), Fasciculus gracilis (Goll-Strang), medial fasciculus

Models Where It Appears

Functional CNS Model - Rat

The Functional CNS Model - Rat (FMrat) ( Swanson-2004) is one of three hierarchical models representing the internal organization of the central nervous system (CNS). The others are the Structural CNS Model - Human (SThmn) and the Functional CNS Model - Human (FMhmn). The FMrat model represents the basic organization of the mouse ( Hof-2000 AMBA-2024 ) and, presumably, other rodents. Functional CNS models differ from structural models in that structures are defined and named by connectivity rather than by proximity to other structures at the same level. Functional models are more useful for representing longitudinal components of are grouped based on information drawn from multiple neuroscientific disciplines. such as connections, neurochemical characteristics, and role in physiogical and behavioral processes. While the Functional Model was developed primarily for an atlas of the rat brain ( Swanson-2004 ), the hierarchical organization of structures is for the most part applicable to the human, macaque, mouse and other mammalian brains as well. Structures at lower levels of the Functional CNS hierarchy are largely the same as in the Classical and Developmental Models, i.e., they were originally identified by stains for gray matter (Nissl substance) and white matter (myelin). At the next higher level they are grouped into basic connectional and functional systems of the CNS, such as the subcortical sensory systems, the brainstem motor system and the behavioral state system. At the highest levels CNS structures are grouped on the basis of dissection and embryologic precursors into cerebrum ( cerebral cortex and cerebral nuclei ), cerebellum, and cerebrospinal trunk.
