Proposed relation name: fasciculates_with

alternate name: fasciculates_in

Description:

Relation between a neuron and a neuron projection bundle (e.g. tract or nerve bundle) that one or more of its projections travels through.

Instance level definition:

x fasciculates_with y iff* exists some ‘neuron projection’ (np) and np part_of x and np overlaps y and np aligned_with y

Domain:

neuron

Range:

neuron projection bundle

Inverse_of:

has_fasciculating_neuron

SubPropertyOf:

overlaps

(*iff = if and only if)

• Note: As we need to say two things about np, we can't use the class level expansion system to capture this

• relation implies overlap (some part of the neuron is part of the bundle).
