Pal-Weigert method. (XO.) of the gracile and cuneate fasciculi terminate in the corresponding nuclei; andtheir terminal arborizations are synaptically related to the neurons, whose cellbodies and dendrites are located there (Fig. 100). Accordingly, in sectionsthrough successive levels we see the fibers decreasing in number as the nucleigrow larger (Figs. 98. 99, 101). It is due to the presence of these nuclei that thefuniculi become swollen to form the club-shaped prominences with which we arealready familiar under the names clava and cuneate tubercle. At the level of thepyramidal decussation the gracile nucleus has the form of a rather thin andill-defined plate, while the cuneate nucleus is repres
