supraoptic commissures

supraoptic commissures
at least three fiber bundles situated dorsal to the optic chiasm, which have been associated with the names of Gudden (ventral or inferior), Meynert (dorsal or superior), and Ganser (anterior), and which have been referred to as commissures but are probably decussations; their connections in humans are uncertain. Only the dorsal and ventral bundles are recognized in official anatomical nomenclature: see commissura supraoptica dorsalis and commissura supraoptica ventralis.
