dorsal spinocerebellar tract

The term dorsal spinocerebellar tract refers to one of two spinocerebellar tracts. Its fibers arise from the thoracic column of the spinal central gray and ascend ipsilaterally in the dorsolateral fasciculus of the spinal cord and the dorsolateral fasciculus of the medulla. In the medulla the tract projects into the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle and terminates in the rostral and caudal portions of the vermis of the cerebellum ( Paxinos-2004; Carpenter-1983 ). The tract is composed of three parts: the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the spinal cord, the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the medulla and the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the cerebellum. The other spinocerebellar tract is the ventral spinocerebellar tract.

Also known as: dorsal spinocerebellar tract, dorsal spinocerebellar tract (Flechsig), Tractus spinocerebellaris dorsalis, Tractus spinocerebellaris posterior, posterior spinocerebellar tract, Tractus spino-cerebellaris posterior, Flechsig's tract, Flechsig's 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.
