lateral cervical nucleus — Definition
lateral servikal nukleus / lateral cervical nucleus
Lateral cervical nucleus is a small neuron community located in the upper cervical segments of spinal cord (usually in C1-C3 levels). This structure plays a role in the transmission of sensory information such as pain and temperature as part of the spinoservikal road. Afferent fibers take spinotalamic way and sends efferent projections to talamusa. Clinically, the damage of this nucleus can lead to sensor losses in neck and upper limbs.
