Sentence examples for lemniscus from inspiring English sources

Fibres from the dorsal cochlear nucleus cross the midline to end on the cells of the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus.

The lemniscus is a major tract, most of the fibres of which end in the inferior colliculus, the auditory centre of the midbrain, although some fibres may bypass the colliculus and end, together with the fibres from the colliculus, at the next higher level, the medial geniculate body.

Cells of these nuclei give rise to fibres that cross completely and form the medial lemniscus; the medial lemniscus in turn projects to the ventrobasal nuclear complex of the thalamus.

A midline lesion of the medulla oblongata is likely to involve the pyramidal tracts (the descending motor pathway) and the medial lemnisci (the ascending tracts relaying sensory impulses from the dorsal columns of the spinal cord).
