Flashcard 256: The _____ is the site of decussation for the spinothalamic tract in the spinal cord.
Answer: Anterior white commissure
Extra: The anterior white commissure is the site in the spinal cord where fibers of the spinothalamic tract and the anterior corticospinal tract decussate. Damage to this structure, as seen in syringomyelia, typically results in a bilateral "cape-like" loss of pain and temperature sensation.
Flashcard 257: Identify the cranial nerve that emerges from the medulla in the **pre-olivary sulcus** (between the pyramid and the olive): _____
Answer: Hypoglossal (CN XII)
Extra: The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) is the only cranial nerve to exit the brainstem via the pre-olivary sulcus (located between the pyramid and the olive of the medulla).
