Mastoid-tegmental bundle

The mastoid-tegmental fascicle is a bundle of nerve fibers that runs from the occipital lobe to the tegmentum of the brain. It is one of the components of the posterior column of the brain and is of great importance for the regulation of eye movements, hearing and balance.

The mastoid-tegmental bundle consists of two bundles of nerve fibers: the mastoid and the tegmental. The mastoid fasciculus contains fibers from the occipital lobes to the tegmental nuclei, and the tegmental fasciculus transmits signals from the tegmental nuclei to the nuclei of the brain stem, which are responsible for the coordination of movements and the regulation of balance.

The functions of the mastoid-tegmental fascicle include the transmission of sensory information from the occipital regions to the tegmental nuclei, as well as the control of eye movements and hearing. Impaired function of this bundle can lead to vision loss, hearing impairment and loss of balance.

Also, the mastoid-tegmental bundle plays an important role in regulating a person’s emotional state. Research shows that activation of the mastoid tegmental band is associated with a positive emotional state, and its suppression can lead to depression and anxiety.

Overall, the mastoid tegmental fascicle is an important element of the nervous system that plays a role in various body functions, including vision, hearing and balance. However, its dysfunction can lead to serious disruptions in the functioning of the body, so it is important to monitor its condition and, if necessary, carry out treatment.

In all notation systems, most neuroanatomists and some clinicians use this term instead of the terms "pseudofascicular system" or "colliculopegmental system" because the meaning of these terms sometimes causes confusion with related terms. Most systematic publications also use the term Gudden's bundle, since the authors of the first and most extensive description of the path to the hypothalamus
