In the sympathetic division , most are adrenergic that is, they use norepinephrine as their neurotransmitters. One exception of this is the sympathetic innervation of sweat gland s, which uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter, at both pre and post ganglionic synapses. Furthermore, another exception is the sympathetic innervation of the adrenal gland s, which is done directly by the preganglionic fiber, and subsequently uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter .

The myoclonic triangle also known by its eponym Triangle of Guillain Mollaret is an important feedback circuit of the brainstem and deep cerebellar nuclei which is responsible for modulating spinal cord motor activity. The circuit is thus composed Fibers of the rubro olivary tract project from the parvocellular red nucleus via the central tegmental tract to the ipsilateral inferior olivary nucleus . The inferior olivary nucleus sends its afferents via climbing fibers in the inferior cerebellar peduncle to Purkinje cells of the contralateral cerebellar cortex. The Purkinje cells send their afferents to the ipsilateral dentate nucleus . The dentate nucleus afferents travel via the superior cerebellar peduncle to the contralateral red nucleus, thus completing the cycle. Of note, this circuit contains a double decussation, implying that a lesion in this tract will cause ipsilateral symptoms. The descending rubrospinal tract and reticulospinal tract originate in the red nucleus and reticular formation which is closely associated with the central tegmental tract respectively, thereby providing the mechanism by which this circuit exerts its effects on spinal cord motor activity. Lesions involving this circuit may produce palatal myoclonus , one of the few involuntary movements that do not disappear during sleep. Palatal myoclonus may be seen as a component of the lateral medullary syndrome a.k.a. Wallenberg Syndrome , if the infarction extends to involve the central tegmental tract.

PF Parallel fiber . PC Purkinje cell . GgC Golgi cell. SC Stellate cell. BC Basket cell. Mossy fibers are one of the major inputs to cerebellum . There are many sources of this pathway, the largest of which is the cerebral cortex, which sends input to the cerebellum via the Pontocerebellar fibers pontocerebellar pathway . Other contributors include the vestibular nerve and Vestibular nuclei nuclei , the spinal cord , the reticular formation , and feedback from deep cerebellar nuclei . Axons enter the cerebellum via the middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles, where some branch to make contact with deep cerebellar nuclei. They ascend into the white matter of the cerebellum , where each axon branches to innervate granule cells in several cerebellar Folium brain folia . In this case, the pathway is so named for a unique synapse formed by its projections, the mossy fiber rosette . Fine branches of the mossy fiber axons twist through the granule cell layer, and slight enlargements giving a knotted appearance indicate synaptic contacts. These contacts have the appearance of a classic Gray s type 1 synapse, indicating they are glutamatergic and excitatory. Sensory information relayed from the pons through the mossy fibers to the granule cells is then sent along the parallel fibers to the Purkinje cells for processing. Extensive branching in white matter and synapses to granular cells ensures that input from a single mossy fiber axon will influence processing in a very large number of Purkinje cells.
