How to Build a Brainstem
摘要
Close inspection of the brainstem reveals hundreds of nuclei deep within the reticular formation embedded within a multitude of climbing and descending fibres travelling up to the thalamus and down to the spinal cord. Tracts are dense bundles of white matter, made up of millions of nerve axons, and transmit, integrate, and modulate information underpinning perception, cognition, and behaviour.
