The tracts contained within this structure cross over at the decussation of the pyramids. An infarct to the lateral part of this structure can lead to dysphagia, ataxia and violent hiccups in Wallenberg syndrome. BIMU-8 acts on the Pre-Botzinger complex in this region. Both the area postrema and the chemoreceptor trigger zone are part of this structure. Those structures are responsible for vomiting.
