From the Research

Tractus olivospinalis, anterior ve lateral funiculusta yerleşim gösterir. Bu bilgi, 1 tarafından yapılan bir çalışmada desteklenmektedir. Olivospinal trakt, medulla oblongata'nın olivary nucleusundan çıkan nöronlardan oluşur ve spinal kordun beyaz maddesinde iner. Motor kontrolde, özellikle hareketlerin koordinasyonunda rol oynar. Aşağıdaki noktalar, tractus olivospinalis hakkında bilinmesi gereken önemli hususlardır:

  • Olivospinal trakt, spinal kordun anterior ve lateral funiculusta bulunur.
  • Bu trakt, motor nöronları etkileyerek kas tonusunu ve refleksleri modüle eder.
  • Olivospinal traktın konumu, diğer inen motor yollarıyla birlikte volontär hareketi kontrol eder, ancak insanlarda diğer inen traktlara göre daha az önemli kabul edilir.
  • 1 çalışması, olivospinal traktın degenerasyonunun, multiple sistem atrofi hastalarında görüldüğünü ve bu durumun hastalığın seyrini etkileyebileceğini göstermiştir.
