Among the still very few elucidated questions about the course of fibers in the spinal cord is the question of the descending systems in the posterior columns. Until recently, a view was adopted that the posterior columns of the spinal cord pass through the systems of fibers, going in the direction of the brain. This view was mainly based on the fact that in case of spinal cord disorders, the Wallerian regeneration of the fibers was higher than the damage.
