The bulbospinal tract (olivospinal tract, trad ofHelweg) is a small bundle of fibers found in the cervical region near the surfaceof the lateral funiculus opposite the anterior column. The fibers arise fromcells in the medulla oblongata, possibly in the inferior olivary nucleus, and endsomewhere in the gray matter of the spinal cord.
