Variability of the medullary arcuate nucleus in humans.
The arcuate nucleus is a component of the ventral medullary surface involved in chemoreception and breathing control. The hypoplasia of this nucleus is a very frequent finding in victims of sudden unexplained fetal and infant death (from the last weeks of pregnancy to the first year of life). On the contrary, this developmental alteration is rarely present in age-matched controls who died of defined causes. These observations lead to hypothesize that a well-developed and functional arcuate nucleus is generally required to sustain life. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the arcuate nucleus maintains the same supposed function throughout life.

On line labeled atlas of the human brain developed by Dr. Rand Swenson of Dartmouth Medical School. It includes gross anatomical and MRI-generated slices (Axial T1-weighted MRI and Coronal T2 MRI weighted, along with Magnetic resonance arteriogram (MRA) and Magnetic resonance venogram (MRV)images. Labels may be turned on and off. A companion on-line textbook is also available. The site says it is still under construction, although the copyright is 2009. * Atlas of Gross Brain Topography * Atlas of the Brain Stem in Cross Section * Atlas of the Brain in Axial Slices * Atlas of the Brain in Coronal Slices * Atlas of the Head in Axial Slices * Axial T1-weighted MRI * Axial T2-weighted MRI * Coronal T1 MRI * Coronal T2 MRI * Magnetic resonance arteriogram (MRA) * Magnetic resonance venogram (MRV)
