Meningioma Posterior fossa / petrous meningioma forms on the underside of the brain and accounts for approximately 10 percent of meningiomas. It can press on the cranial nerves, causing facial and hearing problems. Petrous meningiomas can press on the trigeminal nerve, causing a condition called trigeminal neuralgia.

The Descending Tracts After originating from the cortex, the neurones converge, and descend through the internal capsule (a white matter pathway, located between the thalamus and the basal ganglia). This is clinically important, as the internal capsule is particularly susceptible to compression from haemorrhagic bleeds, known as a ‘capsular stroke‘. Such an event could cause a lesion of the descending tracts. After the internal capsule, the neurones pass through the crus cerebri of the midbrain, the pons and into the medulla. In the most inferior (caudal) part of the medulla, the tract divides into two: The fibres within the lateral corticospinal tract decussate (cross over to the other side of the CNS).

Medullary pyramids (brainstem) About 90% of these fibers leave the pyramids in successive bundles and decussate (cross over) in the anterior median fissure of the medulla oblongata as the pyramidal decussation or motor decussation.ibers of the posterior column, which transmit sensory and proprioceptive information, are located behind the pyramids on the medulla oblongata. The medullary pyramids contain motor fibers that are known as the corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts. The corticospinal tracts are on the anterior surface of the pyramids.

- The inferior colliculi are part of the auditory pathway and send information to the medial geniculate bodies of the thalamus. Several important nuclei are located in the midbrain, including the red nuclei, the substantia nigra, and the nuclei of cranial nerves III and IV.he pons, which is also part of the brain stem, is inferior to the midbrain and superior to the medulla. Its posterior border is separated from the cerebellum by the aqueduct of Sylvius, and more inferiorly, by the fourth ventricle.

- The trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV) emerges from the dorsal midbrain near the inferior colliculus. 2.1. Level of the Inferior Colliculus. In the study of neuroanatomy, axial sectioning of the midbrain is commonly performed at the inferior colliculus . The inferior colliculus nuclei represent a triad of gray matter nuclei within the inferior collicular eminences, which play a significant role in the auditory pathway.

Visual System Anatomy From the LGN, visual information is relayed to the visual cortex. Some of the axons in the tract project to the superior colliculi, paired structures located on the roof of the midbrain. The superior colliculi help coordinate rapid movements of the eye toward a target. total of 6 separate areas in the visual cortex exist: V1, V2, V3, V3a, V4, and V5. The primary visual cortex, or V1, is the first structure in the visual cortex, where the neurons form the LGN synapse.

What is the Mesencephalon? The tectum forms the dorsal, or upper, surface of the midbrain. In mammals, it is divided into two pairs of nuclei: the superior and inferior colliculi. The superior colliculi receive visual information, help coordinate rapid movements of the eyes, and form maps of visual, somatosensory, and auditory space.omposed of two main regions — the tectum, or “roof” in Latin, and the tegmentum, or “covering” — it plays important roles in the sensory and motor control systems.
