Meynert's commissure
Updates to Article Attributes
Meynert’s commissure, also called the dorsal supraoptic commissure,is one of three tracts that comprise thesupraoptic commissure 1,2. The remaining two tracts that comprise the supraoptic commissure are Gudden’s commissure (ventral supraoptic decussation) and the Anterioranterior hypothalamic commissure of Gasner 1.
Gross anatomy
The fibres that comprise Meynert’s commissure are located immediately posterior to the optic chiasm 1. Fibres within the commissure are proposed to interconnect components of the basal ganglia (sub thalamic nuclei and globbus paladus) with the lateral geniculate bodies and superior colliculi 1,2.
History and etymology
Meynert’s commissure is named after Theodor Hermann Meynert, a German-Austrian anatomist and pathologist 3.
