Record 4 2011-09-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
DEF

The plane locus that is the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to a variable tangent to a rectangular hyperbola.

OBS

Special use of Latin "lemniscus" : pendent ribbon.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques
DEF

Courbe, lieu géométrique des points tels que le produit de leurs distances à deux points fixes est constant.

Record 5 2011-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
DEF

An eminence of the metathalamus produced by the underlying medial geniculate nucleus, just lateral to the superior colliculus. It relays auditory impulses from the lateral lemniscus to the auditory cortex.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
DEF

L'un des deux noyaux inférieurs du thalamus situés à la partie postéro-inférieure du pulvinar et rattaché au colliculus inférieur. Il constitue le dernier centre de relais de la voie de conduction des influx auditifs vers le cortex.

CONT

Depuis le corps genouillé médian, les radiations auditives vont gagner le cortex auditif primaire (gyrus de Heschel) et ensuite l'information sera décodée dans l'aire auditive secondaire (aire de Wernicke).

OBS

Ancienne nomenclature : corps genouillé médial.

Record 8 2006-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
DEF

A bundle of ascending fibers that originate from the cochlear and auditory relay nuclei of the rhombencephalon, enter the trapezoid body, a transverse fiber stratum in which about half their number decussate, and from here turn rostrally along the lateral side of the spinothalamic tract.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
CONT

Le noyau cochléaire (face dorso-latérale du pédoncule cérébelleux inférieur) constitue le deuxième neurone de cette voie. Les axones de ceux-ci gagnent le lemnisque latéral de la protubérance controlatérale (en dehors du lemnisque médian) par une voie dorsale (stries acoustiques du IVe ventricule) et par une voie ventrale.

DEF

A band of white fibers originating from the gracile and nuclei and decussating in the lower medulla.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
DEF

Faisceau ascendant de fibres myélinisées sensitives situé à la partie médiane du tronc cérébral et aboutissant au thalamus.

OBS

Ancienne nomenclature : ruban de Reil median.

Record 10 2001-09-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
CONT

The lemniscus, together with the other longitudinal strands of the tegmentum, enters its ventral part : the thalamomammillary fasciculus(bundle of Vicq d’Azyr), from the corpus mammillare, enters in its anterior tubercle, while many of the fibers of the optic tract terminate in its posterior end.

OBS

Plural: lemnisci.

Key term(s)
  • lemnisci
  • fillet

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
DEF

Faisceau des fibres myélinisées sensitives ascendantes du tronc cérébral.

DEF

On distingue le lemnisque latéral, formé par les deutoneurones de la voie cochléaire et le lemnisque médian [Ruban de Reil], groupant les fibres de la sensibilité proprioceptive consciente et de la sensibilité tactile épicritique.
