complexus olivaris inferior

complexus olivaris inferior
[TA] inferior olivary complex: a folded band of gray matter that encloses a white core (hilum nuclei olivaris inferioris) and that produces the elevation called the oliva on the medulla oblongata. It is a nuclear complex that receives projections from the spinal cord, mesencephalon, cerebellar nuclei, and cerebral cortex and projects fibers via the contralateral inferior cerebellar peduncle to the cerebellar cortex and nuclei. Called also nuclei olivares inferiores [TA alternative], inferior olivary nuclei, and caudal olivary nuclei.
