The fasciculus gracilis is placed parallel to and along the side of the posterior median fissure, and separated from the fasciculus cuneatus by the postero-intermediate sulcus and septum.
The gracile and cuneate fasciculi are at first vertical in direction; but at the lower part of the rhomboid fossa they diverge from the middle line in a V-shaped manner, and each presents an elongated swelling.
That on the fasciculus gracilis is named the clava, and is produced by a subjacent nucleus of gray matter, the nucleus gracilis; that on the fasciculus cuneatus is termed the cuneate tubercle, and is likewise caused by a gray nucleus, named the nucleus cuneatus.

 Medial lemniscus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The medial lemniscus, also known as Reil's band or Reil's ribbon, is a pathway in the brainstem that carries sensory information from the gracile and cuneate nuclei to the thalamus.
After neurons carrying proprioceptive or touch information synapse at the gracile and cuneate nuclei, axons from secondary neurons travel up the brainstem as the medial lemniscus on the contralateral (opposite) side.
The cuneate and gracile nuclei reside at the closed (lower) medulla, so the lemniscus isn't formed at this level.

A reciprocal connection is known to exist between the cuneate nucleus, which is a first-order somatosensory nucleus, and the cochlear nucleus, which is a first-order auditory nucleus.
In the present study, we determined that the axonal projections from the cuneate region gave rise to mossy fiber terminals in the granule cell regions of the ipsilateral cochlear nucleus.
The cuneate mossy fibers appear to be excitatory in nature, because they are filled with round synaptic vesicles, they make asymmetric synapses with postsynaptic targets, and they are labeled with an antibody to glutamate.

Monocotyledons are distinct from dicotyledons by their subtype-P2 sieve-element plastids containing cuneate protein crystals, a synapomorphic character uniformly present from basal Acorales and Alismatales through Lilioids to Commelinoids.
High resolution TEM pictures reveal a crystal substructure which in cuneate forms is always densely-packed, but in polygonal ones is either 'dense' (in Asarum, Saruma, and Japonolirion) or 'loose' (in Harperocallis, Pleea, and Tofieldia).
Moreover, small 'loose' crystals in addition to 'dense' cuneate ones are found in a few Lilioids and many taxa of the Poales (Commelinoids).

 Impulse propagation over tactile and kinaesthetic sensory axons to central target neurones of the cuneate nucleus in ...
The aim was to determine whether failure of spike propagation occurred at any of the three major axonal branch points in the path to their cuneate target neurones, and whether propagation failure may contribute, along with synaptic transmission failures, to limitations in transmission security observed for the cuneate synaptic relay.
Simultaneous recordings were made from the centrally projecting axon with a microelectrode inserted into the cuneate division of the DCN, which had been exposed by removal of a small part of the atlas and occiput.
Paired simultaneous recordings from the peripheral and central segments of sensory nerves were carried out for five afferent fibres, three identified as HFA fibres in fascicles of the superficial radial nerve, and two as joint afferent fibres recorded from the wrist joint nerve.
