A c. for gustatory sensations, in the gyrus uncinatus. temperature regulating c's. See thermotaxic c's. thermal cortical x c. An area in the cortex of the dog's brain, near the end of the sulcus cruciatus, stimulation of which produces a change in the temperature of the opposite limbs. thermo-excito c's. A supposed c. in the spinal cord or brain which presides over the body temperature, thermocord which genic c|s.preside Supposed overc's the in body the spinal temperature, particularly in the sense of causing a heat production in the peripheral ti ues, thermopolypneic c. A nerve c. situated in the gray matter about the third ventricle at its anterior part. It excites the respiratory c. to increased activity. thermotaxic c's. Supposed cerebral c's for maintaining the balance between the production and the di ipation of heat. Of the four basal thermotaxic c's, one is situated in the caudate nucleus, one in the gray matter beneath it, one in the gray matter about the most anterior part of the third ventricle (see thermopolypneic c), and one at the anterior inner end of the optic thalamus, trophic c. The cells giving rise to so-called trophic fibers which control the nutritive proce es of the body, vascular c's. See vasomotor c's. vasoexcitation of constrictor whichc's. C's causes in the spinal cord, constriction of the smaller blood ve els. The principal vasoconstrictor c. is a bilateral group of cells, situated in the medulla oblong at a and the pons Varolii, from just below the corpus quadrigemina to 3 to 4 mm. above the point of the calamus script or i us. vasodilator c's. Cs in the spinal cord or the medulla, excitation of which causes dilatation of the smaller blood ve els, vasomotor c's. Usually synonymous with vasoconin strict or c's, but the term may be used to include both it and the vasodilator c's. vesicospinal c. See micturition c. visual c. An area in the cerebral cortex for visual perceptions. It occupies the occipital cortex, particularly the area on its mesial surface surrounding the calcarine fi ure. visuopsychic c. An area in the occipital cortex and neighboring region, supposed to be concerned in synthesis and intellectual perception of visual sensations, visuosensory c. An area in the occipital cortex, round the calcarine fi ure, in which the visual paths terminate, but which is suposed to mediate the primary visual sensations, vomiting c. A region in the medulla oblong at a which presides over the act of vomiting, winking c. The reflex c. for winking; situated in the medulla oblong at a. [Lat., centrum.'] centes'imal (sen-tes'im-al).
