  • Understanding Neural Tracts: Structure and Function in the CNS
    A bundle of parallel neurons in the central nervous system is called a tract.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Tract: A collection of nerve fibers (axons) that share a common origin and destination within the central nervous system (CNS). They are responsible for transmitting specific types of information, such as sensory, motor, or coordination signals.

    * Nerve: A bundle of nerve fibers (axons) that travel outside the CNS. They carry information to and from the periphery of the body.

    * Ganglion: A collection of nerve cell bodies (neurons) located outside the CNS. They serve as relay points for transmitting information.
