Where does decussation occur?
The axons of the neurons in each of these cortexes must therefore bifurcate (split in two) somewhere during their descent to the spinal cord so that they can change sides. This crossover, or decussation, occurs just before the junction between the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord.
