Fiber dissection technique for demonstrating the lateral lemniscus of the human brain.
This report describes fiber dissection technique for tracing the auditory pathway from the cochlear nerve to the medial geniculate body via the lateral lemniscus, inferior colliculus and inferior brachium. Some fibers of the lateral leminiscus appear to reach the thalamus in conjunction with fibers of the medial lemniscus.
