ehind the Optic Chiasm. (After Toldt.) Nervus opticum passes dor sail u from the foot to the tegmentum, and this after previous decus-sation in the raphe may carry the motor neurons to the cerebral nerve nuclei,particularly to both of the above mentioned nuclei. Other fibers of the pedun-cles which do not form this bundle, and which extend no further caudally,are lost in the numerous nerve-cells of the pons which lie between the fiberspassing through the cerebellum (the fibers of the middle peduncle of thecerebellum). The remainder of the ventral portion of the crus cerebri which passestransversely through the pons as a closed bundle (Figs. 61. 62) and then ex-tends caudalward is called the pyramidal tract. This unites at the posterior 68 HISTOLOGY OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM border of the pons in the form of the so-called pyramids at the base of themedulla (Figs. 42, 43, 61, 62), and subsequently with the so-called pyramidal Truncus corporis callosiSeptum pellucidum Corpus fornicis

Inman a few of these fibers do not cross but remain in the anterior columns,the so-called Turks bundle (Fig. 28, i) ; subsequently they also pass down-ward into the spinal cord. In the spinalcord itself these fibers of the pyramidaltract pass from time to time to the largemotor anterior horn cells with their ter-minal filament
