Decussation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Decussation is used in biological contexts to describe a crossing.[1][2]
Examples include:
- In the brain
- Decussation of the pyramids
- Ventral supraoptic decussation
- Decussation of optic nerve fibres to combine retinal information from both eyes
- In phyllotaxis when an opposite pattern of leaves has successive leaf pairs that are perpendicular, it is called decussate.
