posterior optic commissure [FBbt_00007427]
A large midline-crossing commissure that emerges from the serpentine layer of the medulla and connects the medulla of each brain hemisphere, passing dorsal to the esophageal foramen (Helfrich-Forster and Homberg, 1993; Ito et al., 2014). It demarcates the boundaries of the posterior lateral protocerebrum (posterior-inferior region), superior posterior slope (posterior-inferior region) and inferior posterior slope (posterior-superior region) (Ito et al., 2014). The posterior optic commissure corresponds to the posterior optic tract. The name has been changed to reflect the fact that the tract connects both hemispheres (Ito et al., 2014).
