exists and is an alternate of . There are 1000 meters in a kilometer. The prefix kilo- means 1000. kilobyte is roughly one thousand bytes of storage (used because 210, or 1024, is the power of two closest to 1000 bytes: it is easily close enough to one thousand, or one kilo-, for describing computer storage in general terms).
The fibers that enter the spinal cord below the sixth thoracic segment form the gracile fasciculus (gracile tract), and fibers that enter the cord above the sixth thoracic segment are located laterally and form the cuneate fasciculus (cuneate tract). The gracile fasciculus (historically termed the tract of Goll) is present throughout the length of the spinal cord; it contains afferents from the lower trunk and extremities below the T6 spinal cord segment.
The differences correlated with their fatigue--the more abnormal the tract, the worse the fatigue.. The results suggest that FA at the right arcuate fasciculus may serve as a biomarker for CFS that can help track the disease. The imaging study also found abnormalities among CFS patients at the two points in the brain that connect the right arcuate fasciculus. Each connection point, known as a cortex, was thicker in CFS patients.
