Neuroanatomy of the Pain System and of the Pathways that Modulate Pain.
This is jam-packed with noradrenaline-containing neurones, and projects to a variety of brainstem structures that modulate pain through pathways that descend to the spinal cord.
Although difficult to identify, and glossed over in most neuroanatomy texts, these nuclei, particularly the submedius, may turn out to be very important in pain perception!

 NeuroAnatomy Glossary
However, the crawling behavior of infants, the Magnus-Dekleijn reflex and decorticate posturing, are all related to red nucleus walking in experimental animals.
By contrast, single lesions in the rostral pons or midbrain usually produce contralateral loss of pain and temperature in both face and body, since the part of the trigeminal system present at these rostral levels (second-order trigeminothalamic fibers) is mostly crossed.
Visual field defects can result from damage anywhere along the visual pathway including lesions at the retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations and at the visual cortex.

 CERVICOGENIC HEADACHES PHYSICAL THERAPY
In an overview of the neuroanatomy of this region, we find that there is significant influence of the cervical spine dysfunction into the nature of head and facial pain.
These joints may also impinge, and may also be a secondary source not only of cervical pain, but also, referred pain through the trigeminal-cervical nucleus.
Following this central phenomenon model, the ability of both the cervical nucleus combined with the trigeminal nucleus in transmitting noxious stimulus in either direction explains many of the phenomenon occurring in head and neck pain and in our discussion of cervicogenic headaches.

As discussed before the reward pathway, located in the limbic system, is primarily made up of core structures that are connected by the median forebrain bundle (MFB): the nucleus accumbens (NA), the ventral tegmental area (VTA), the ventromedial and lateral nuclei of the hypothalamus, and the amygdala (1,2,3,7).

 Anatomy 530a at UWO (Functional Human Neuroanatomy)
For pain, temperature and the less discriminative aspects of touch, neurons in the dorsal horn have axons that cross in the spinal cord and ascend as the spinothalamic tract, which is laterally situated in the spinal cord and brain stem.
For conscious proprioception from the lower limb there is an additional pathway, involving the dorsal spinocerebellar tract and nucleus Z in the medulla.
Fibres concerned with touch end in the pontine trigeminal nucleus and in the rostral part of the spinal trigeminal nucleus.

 General Intelligence and Seed AI
This may be one of the reasons why thalamocortical sensory pathways are always reciprocated by corticothalamic projections of equal or greater size; for example, a cat has 10^6 neural fibers leading from the lateral geniculate nucleus to the visual cortex, but 10^7 fibers going in the reverse direction.
Because the human visual cortex and associated neuroanatomy - our visual modality - is what makes our thoughts of 2D and 3D objects real.
Even a complete sensory modality, capable of perception and visualization, is useless without the rest of the AI.

Our results suggest that a rough chemotopy characterizes the organization of taste responses in the nucleus of the solitary tract, and that the topographic pattern of taste afferent terminations in this nucleus is related to their chemosensitivity as well as to their peripheral spatial distribution.
Further, the chemotopic arrangement was only partially consistent with what would be predicted if chemotopy was merely an outcome of orotopy.

The LGN is responsible for passing information about color, contrast, shape, and movement on to the visual cortices.

nucleus in the hypothalamus and is so named because it resides immediately above the optic chaism (OX).

We are also currently describing the circadian activity patterns and suprachiasmatic nucleus neuroanatomy of the northern red-backed vole, Clethrionomys rutilus, with the goal to investigate circadian rhythm adaptations to the arctic.

 BS 22. Red Nucleus (the "Ruber") - Deficit
Since we don't know that this problem is due to involvement of only the rubrospinal system, I feel it is best to consider a lesion of the ruber to result in MOTOR PROBLEMS OF THE CONTRALATERAL LIMBS for our problem solving exercises.
As far as I know there are no clinical case studies involving a lesion limited to the red nucleus.
It has been reported that large lesions of the midbrain tegmentum involving the red nucleus (called the tegmental syndrome) result in hemichorea, which is a tremor or involuntary movement of the contralateral limbs.

Therefore having only myosis on this pt we could think about another known condition called Horner's Syndrome which in this case could explain the clinic signs of the patient and give us so for the answer A) as we know Horner syndrome is due to paralysis of the cervical sympathetic nerves.
The left options C) Lateral Geniculate Nucleus; D) Optic tract and E) Visual cortex (Brodmann's area 17); would give us a contralateral component or other clinical features not present on this patient.
A lesion here would give us Ipsilateral conjugate deviation of the eyes.

The red nucleus is a prominent structure within the rostral midbrain and lies just dorsal to the substantia nigra.
Very little is known about the function(s) of the red nucleus in humans.
Inputs to the ruber arise from motor areas of the brain and in particular the deep cerebellar nuclei (via superior cerebellar peduncle; crossed projection) and the motor cortex (corticorubral; ipsilateral projection).
