crossed CBT - ipsilateral or contralateral?
level or decussation?
ipsilateral
medulla
areas of uncrossed CBT?
midbrain and pons
nuclei involved in CBT
nucleus ambiguus - uvula deviates toward normal
hypoglossal nuclei - tongue deviates toward lesion
INO
R nucleus of CN6 contracts ___ LR»_space; simulates __ nucleus of CN3 via __MLF
MLF,
Right nucleus of CN6 contracts Right LRmuscle»_space; simulates Left nucleus of CN3 (left MRmuscle) via Left MLF
