Spinal cord ventral commissure
Spinal cord ventral commissure
Definition
The band of nerve fibers which cross the midline of the spinal cord ventral to the central canal and posterior grey commissure[MP]. The anterior (or ventral) white commissure, also known as the alba anterior medullae spinalis, is a bundle of nerve fibers which cross the midline of the spinal cord just anterior to the gray commissure. A N4 fibers and C fibers carrying pain sensation in the spinothalamic tract contribute to this commissure, as do fibers of the anterior corticospinal tract, which carry motor signals from the primary motor cortex[WP].
Also known as anterior white commissure, anterior white commissure of spinal cord, spinal cord anterior commissure, ventral spinal commissure, ventral white column, ventral white commissure of spinal cord — per UBERON
The Spinal cord ventral commissure is a part of the Nervous.
