The Redlich–Obersteiner's zone, also known as the root entry zone, is a boundary between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The Redlich–Obersteiner's zone is located at the point of entry of either between cranial nerves and the brain or spinal nerves and the spinal cord.
The Redlich–Obersteiner's zone is a critical boundary that distinguishes the CNS from the PNS, located at the point of connection between cranial nerves and the brain or spinal nerves and the spinal cord.
