Autonomic Pathways

This chapter reviews pathways that are not at a single level of the brainstem but rather involve multiple areas with supratentorial input. The chapter highlights autonomic pathways, the reticular formation and chemically defined groups, and coordination of eye movements. Sympathetic fibers travel from the hypothalamus to the intermediolateral column in the spinal cord through the lateral brainstem. Patients with a unilateral lesion of the lateral brainstem may have ipsilateral Horner syndrome. The ventrolateral medulla, also a sympathetic region of the brainstem, projects to the spinal cord and is involved in the innervation of blood vessels in the limbs.
