Evidence is given of the location in man of the fibres going to the sympathetic neurons of the lateral horn that supply the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the eye and the sweat glands of the head and neck. For the region of the pons and medulla, the evidence is abstracted from the literature. For the cervical spinal cord, the evidence is from our cases of anterolateral cordotomy. In the medulla, thrombosis of the artery of the fossette latérale destroys the fibres; this locates the fibres in the posterolateral retro-olivary area. But not all fibres to the sudomotor neurons lie there: some run elsewhere, though they probably remain ipsilateral. In the cervical cord, the fibres supplying the sympathetic neurons of the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the eye run near the posterior angle of the anterior horn. Most of the fibres supplying the sudomotor neurons lie in the same region, though some lie outside this area but on the same side of the cord.
有证据表明，在人类中，支配眼球固有肌和外在肌以及头颈部汗腺的交感神经元的纤维位于脊髓侧角。关于脑桥和延髓区域的证据摘自文献。关于颈脊髓的证据来自我们的脊髓前外侧切断术病例。在延髓，外侧隐窝动脉血栓形成会破坏这些纤维；这将纤维定位在橄榄后外侧区域。但并非所有至汗腺运动神经元的纤维都位于此处：有些纤维走行于其他部位，尽管它们可能仍在同侧。在颈脊髓中，支配眼球固有肌和外在肌交感神经元的纤维在前角后角附近走行。大多数支配汗腺运动神经元的纤维位于同一区域，尽管有些位于该区域之外但仍在脊髓的同一侧。
