| trigeminal caudal nucleus | The caudal portion of the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (trigeminal nucleus, spinal), a nucleus involved with pain and temperature sensation. (12 Dec 1998) |

| anterior commissure | A round bundle of nerve fibres that crosses the midline of the brain near the anterior limit of the third ventricle. It consists of a smaller anterior part, the fibres of which pass in part to the olfactory bulbs, and a larger posterior part, which interconnects the left and right temporal lobes. Synonym: commissura anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior labial commissure | The junction of the labia majora anteriorly at the mons pubis. Synonym: commissura labiorum anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior white commissure | A narrow band of white substance bordering on the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord in front of the anterior gray commissure, and consisting of nerve fibres crossing over from one half of the spinal cord to the other. Synonym: commissura alba, anterior white commissure, commissura ventralis alba, ventral white column. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial palpebral commissure | The union of the upper and lower eyelids adjacent to the medial angle. Synonym: commissura palpebrarum medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Meynert's commissure | The commissural fibres that lie above and behind the optic chiasm. Synonym: Ganser's commissures, Gudden's commissures, Meynert's commissures, supraoptic commissures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wernekinck's commissure | The decussation of the brachia conjunctiva before their entrance into the red nucleus of the tegmentum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure | <plant biology> A join or seam, in plants, the interfacing of two fused carpels in an ovary. (09 Oct 1997) |
| commissure of cerebral hemispheres | <anatomy> A great commissure (connection) between the two cerebral hemispheres (right and left). (13 Nov 1997) |
| commissure of fornix | The triangular subcallosal plate of commissural fibres resulting from the converging of the right and left fornix bundles which exchange numerous fibres and which curve back in the contralateral fornix to end in the hippocampus of the opposite side. Synonym: commissura hippocampi, commissure of fornix, delta fornicis, hippocampal commissure, psalterium, transverse fornix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of habenulae | The connection between the right and left habenular nuclei; the decussation of fibres of the two striae medullares, forming the dorsal portion of the peduncle of the pineal body. Synonym: commissure of habenulae, habenular commissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of inferior colliculi | Nerve fibres on the midline between the two inferior colliculi connecting the colliculi and containing some fibres originating from nontectal nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of lips | The junction of the lips lateral to the angle of the mouth. Synonym: commissura labiorum, junction of lips. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of superior colliculus | Nerve fibres interconnecting corresponding and noncorresponding portions of the two superior colliculi across the midline; may contain fibres originating outside the tectum. (05 Mar 2000) |
