	Medulla oblongata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The medulla oblongata is the lower portion of the brainstem.
		The medulla is often thought of as being in two parts, an open part (close to the pons), and a closed part (further down towards the spinal cord).
		The 'opening' referred to is on the dorsal side of the medulla, and forms part of the fourth ventricle of the brain.

		It lies on the lateral aspect of the fasciculus cuneatus, and is separated from the surface of the medulla oblongata by a band of nerve fibers which form the spinal tract (spinal root) of the trigeminal nerve.
		The upper part of the posterior district of the medulla oblongata is occupied by the inferior peduncle, a thick rope-like strand situated between the lower part of the fourth ventricle and the roots of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.
		The cerebellum is connected to the cerebrum, pons, and medulla oblongata; to the cerebrum by the superior peduncle, to the pons by the middle peduncle, and to the medulla oblongata by the inferior peduncles.

	Brain stem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Below the pons and continuous with the spinal cord is the medulla oblongata, which transmits ascending and descending nerve fibers between the spinal cord and the brain.
		The lower part of the brain stem is the medulla oblongata, grossly comprising the medullary pyramids and the olivary bodies or olives.
		Differentiation of the brain stem from the cerebrum is complex, both anatomically and taxonomically.

	Olympus FluoView Resource Center: Confocal Gallery - Rat Brain Tissue Sections
		The medulla oblongata is the part of the brain that is continuous with the spinal cord, with which it merges at the foramen magnum, a large orifice located at the base of the skull.
		Blood is supplied to the medulla by several arteries, including the vertebral artery, the anterior spinal artery, and the posterior inferior cerebellar artery, and the last seven cranial nerves emerge from the structure.
		Immunofluorescently Detecting GFAP and NF-H in Medulla Oblongata Tissue - Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a type III intermediate filament protein that is a primary structural element of the star-shaped glial cells known as astrocytes and neural stem cells.

	medulla oblongata
		The medulla oblongata looks like a swelling at the tip of the spinal cord; it is continuous with the spinal cord above the level of the foramen magnum of the occipital bone.
		The medulla oblongata regulates the reflex responses that control breathing, heart beat, blood pressure, and other essential involuntary functions.
		It also contains part of the reticular formation that plays a role in arousal states, such as wakefulness and attention, and it gives rise to many of the cranial nerves.

	Medulla Oblongata (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The medulla oblongata is an enlarged continuation of the spinal cord extending up into the "pons" (a large bulge under the brain stem).
		On each side of the medulla oblongata is an oval swelling, called the "olive", from which a large bundle of nerve fibers arises and passes up into the cerebellum.
		Because of its location, all ascending and descending nerve fibers connecting the brain to the spinal cord must pass through it.

		Medulla oblongata: lower or hindmost part of the brain; continuous with spinal cord; (`bulb' is an old term for medulla oblongata); "the medulla oblongata is the most vital part of the brain because it contains centers controlling breathing and heart functioning"
		Medulla oblongata : caudal subdivision of the hindbrain interposed between the spinal cord and the pons; adult derivative of the myelencephalon, the most caudal subdivision of the developing brain; it has two subdivisions the open medulla bordering on the fourth ventricle and the closed medulla which surrounds the rostral part of the central canal.

		The medulla oblongata, or simply medulla, has centers that control heart and breathing rates and blood pressure, as well as coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting.
		The medulla is continuation of the spinal cord.
		Similarly, most sensory fibres also cross over in the medulla so that nearly all sensory fibres received on one side of the body are perceived in the opposite side of the cerebral cortex.

	The Brainstem
		The brainstem is the pathway for all fiber tracts passing up and down from peripheral nerves and spinal cord to the highest parts of the brain.
		The medulla oblongata functions primarily as a relay station for the crossing of motor tracts between the spinal cord and the brain.
		The pons is a bridge-like structure which links different parts of the brain and serves as a relay station from the medulla to the higher cortical structures of the brain.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Confocal Image Gallery - Medulla Oblongata
		The medulla oblongata is a cone-shaped part of the brain that is located on the lowermost portion of the brain stem and gradually transitions into the spinal cord.
		Interestingly, it is within the medulla that both sensory and motor nerve fibers, traveling from the left and right hemispheres of the brain into the rest of the body, actually cross over to the opposite side.
		The medulla also operates in tandem with the cerebellum to control movement, and works in conjunction with the thalamus to regulate states of arousal and sleep.

		The pons seems to serve as a relay station carrying signals from various parts of the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum.
		The midbrain along with the medulla and pons are often referred to as the "brainstem".
		It sends signals to the hypothalamus and medulla which can activate the flight or fight response of the autonomic nervous system.

		In severe deoxygenation, NO-sensitive cells in the medulla oblongata respond to this release by increasing the rate and depth of breathing.
		In laboratory animals (mice and rats), NO is released by neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus and stimulates the NMDA receptors there that are responsible for long-term potentiation (LTP) — a type of memory (and learning).
