Commissural Nucleus Of Probst is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
The Commissural Nucleus of Probst (also known as the Probst's commissural nucleus) is a small brainstem nucleus located in the midbrain that contains neurons whose axons cross the midline and project to the spinal cord. It is part of the medial longitudinal fasciculus system.

Overview
Mermaid diagram (expand to render)
Named after the Austrian neuroanatomist Moriz Probst who described it in 1901, this nucleus is located in the midbrain tegmentum, dorsal to the interpeduncular nucleus and near the medial longitudinal fasciculus.
