 | | The “alerting” information from your medial leminiscus to the thalamus carries one version of what’s happening to your body, one version of why you’re falling. |
 | | If your leminiscus, thalamus, vestibular system, cerebellum, pyramidal tract, or basal ganglia are affected by disease, the information your cortex receives will be flawed, and its response will be flawed—you will find yourself on the floor. |
 | | The medial leminiscus is affected in pernicious anemia, resulting from a deficiency of vitamin B-12 and/ or folate. |
