2. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

   The anterior and lateral spinothalamic tracts labelled at lower right as tracts of the anterolateral system. There are two main parts of the spinothalamic tract: The lateral spinothalamic tract transmits pain and temperature. The anterior spinothalamic tract (or ventral spinothalamic tract) transmits crude touch and firm pressure.

3. Spinoreticular tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinoreticular_tract

   These interneurons then synapse with second-order neurons in laminae V-VIII [1] Their axons then ascend in the spinal cord near the lateral spinothalamic tract. [2] A minority of second-order axons of the spinoreticular tract bypass the reticular formation, and project directly to the intralaminar thalamic nuclei.. [1] [page needed]

4. Anterior white commissure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_white_commissure

   Two of the five sensory modalities, pain and temperature, cross sides at the anterior white commissure, reaching the contralateral side about two vertebral levels rostral to their origin. The spinothalamic tract thus decussates very soon after entering the spinal cord, ascending in the spinal cord, contralateral to the side from where it ...

5. Spinomesencephalic pathway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinotectal_tract

   The anterolateral system (ALS) is a bundle of afferent somatosensory fibers from different ascending tracts in the spinal cord. These fibers include those of the spinomesencephalic tract, spinothalamic tract, and spinoreticular tract amongst others. [5]

6. Trigeminal lemniscus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_lemniscus

   However, the trigeminal lemniscus also carries pain and temperature sensations from the contralateral orofacial region, just as the spinothalamic tract carries these sensations from the contralateral body. Thus, the trigeminal lemniscus of the head is functionally analogous to both the DCML tracts and the spinothalamic tract of the body.

7. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

   The dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DCML) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (PCML) is the major sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (body position) from the skin and joints.

   Anterior part of Lateral nucleus; Part of supraoptic nucleus; Other nuclei of preoptic area. ... Lateral spinothalamic tract; Anterior spinothalamic tract;

9. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

   After synapsing, secondary axons decussate and ascend in the anterior lateral portion of the spinal cord as the spinothalamic tract. This tract ascends all the way to the VPLN, where it synapses on tertiary neurons. Tertiary neuronal axons then travel to the primary sensory cortex via the posterior limb of the internal capsule.
