Uberon 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].;
Uberon synonym : spinal cord anterior commissure; ventral white column; anterior white commissure of spinal cord; ventral white commissure of spinal cord; ventral spinal commissure; anterior white commissure;
Uberon related term : anterior commissure; ventral commissure of the spinal cord; white commissure;
