Fig. 4. Drawing of the spinal cord depicting pathways and neurons likely to use glutamate as a neurotransmitter. I = primary afferent fibers 2 = local-circuit neurons in the superficial dorsal horn 3 = corticospinal fibers 4 = bulbospinal input to the intermediolateral nucleus 5 = vestibulospinal input to the central cervical nucleus 6 = the spinocervical tract.
