Hence the second sensoryneuron of the posterior roots of the spinal cord ascends to the medulla oblongatain the lemniscus on both sides of the raphe. We must trace this through thepons and the middle brain. The fibers of the second sensory neuron of the cranial nerves now unite,and, the lowest, the nucleus of the pneumogastric nerve (Fig. 87) whose cells.

The same is true of the nucleus of the glosso-pharyngeal nerve. (Probably the ascending roots of the glosso-pharyngealand vagus send crossed fibers into the lemniscus tract; no positive knowledgeconcerning this is at hand.)
