Jul 26, 2023 · The spinothalamic tract is an ascending pathway of the spinal cord. Together with the medial lemnicus, it is one of the most important sensory pathways of the nervous system. …

The spinothalamic tract, like the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway, uses three neurons to convey sensory information from the periphery to conscious level at the cerebral cortex.

Aug 14, 2023 · The spinothalamic tract (STT) is a sensory tract that carries nociceptive, temperature, crude touch, and pressure from our skin to the somatosensory area of the …

The spinothalamic tract, one of the most important pathways of the nervous system, lies anteriolaterally to the ventral horn of the spinal grey matter. This pathway comprises of three …

Nov 6, 2025 · Anterior spinothalamic tract – carries the sensory modalities of crude touch and pressure. Lateral spinothalamic tract – carries the sensory modalities of pain and temperature. …

Throughout the length of the spinal cord, projection neurons are concentrated in the marginal nucleus and nucleus proprius of the dorsal horn. Axons of the projection neurons decussate …

1. Introduction 1.1. Spinothalamic Tract 1.2. Objectives 2. Anterolateral System 2.1. Overview

The majority of the spinothalamic cells are concentrated in the cervical and lumbosacral enlargements. The spinothalamic cells send their axons across the midline, and ascend as the …

Sep 4, 2025 · The spinothalamic tracts are ascending pathways in the spinal cord primarily concerned with sensory function. They are responsible for transmitting pain, temperature, …

These fibers, together with axons from second-order lamina I neurons, form the spinothalamic tract, the major ascending pathway for information about pain and temperature.
