Electron microscopic study of the median structure of the posterior column of the spinal cord of the adult rat with a special reference to the posterior median septum.

In conclusion, this study revealed that the posterior median septum is composed of very fine lineal figures of glial tissues that are often disrupted and eventually disappear. We consider these basic structures to be similar in humans. Therefore, during posterior midline myelotomy, accurately separating along the posterior median septum in the posterior column is extremely difficult.
