At any given level, SSA and SVA recipient zones tend to lie medial to the GSA nuclei. GVE and SVE nuclei lie medial to the GSE nuclei. 10). One prominent exception to the topographic rule is the facial nucleus-a special visceral efferent nucleus that is found in an unexpected location. 7. Topographic organization ofthe sensory and motor columns of cranial nerve nuclei In the medulla.

1). As noted in Chapter 1, the disproportionate growth of the body in comparison with the cord results in a displacement of the cord; as a result, the segments come to be displaced with respect to the point of exit of the nerve roots (see Figure 1. 7). The collection of nerve roots that extend into the ventralmost portion of the vertebral column beyond the terminus of the cord is termed the cauda equina because it resembles a horse's tail. It is important to realize that there are no actual boundaries that define the segments.
