ventral lateral tract of ventral cervical fasciculus

ID: FBbt_00047543

Relatively thin bundle of fibers that extends posteriorly to the anterolateral sides of the metathoracic neuromere at the level of the diagonal bundle contributed to by the ventral ellipse (Power, 1948. Anteriorly, it passes through the mesothoracic neuromere, then makes a characteristic sharp lateral bow, before returning more medially and entering the prothoracic neuromere (Power, 1948. It passes through the prothoracic neuromere as a loose aggregation of fibers, ventral and lateral to the dorsal lateral tract of the ventral cervical fasciculus and connects to the lateral part of the ventral cervical fascicle (Power, 1948. It is found in the same plane as, but lateral to, the ventral ellipse (Power, 1948. (Boerner and Duch, 2010, Namiki et al., 2018, Power, 1948)
