		The head of the posterior column forms a long nucleus, in which the fibers of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve largely end.
		The posterior layer covers the antero-inferior surface of the cerebellum, while the anterior is applied to the structures which form the lower part of the roof of the ventricle, and is continuous inferiorly with the pia mater on the inferior peduncles and closed part of the medulla.
		The upper part of the posterior district of the medulla oblongata is occupied by the inferior peduncle, a thick rope-like strand situated between the lower part of the fourth ventricle and the roots of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

		The medial lemniscus may be considered as the upward continuation of the posterior funiculus of the spinal cord and to convey conscious impulses of muscle sense and tactile discrimination.
		The principal gray masses of the tegmentum are the red nucleus and the interpeduncular ganglion; of its fibers the chief longitudinal tracts are the superior peduncle, the medial longitudinal fasciculus, and the lemniscus.
		The greater part of the medial lemniscus, on the other hand, is prolonged through the tegmentum, and most of its fibers end in the thalamus; probably some are continued directly through the occipital part of the internal capsule to the cerebral cortex.

	Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These types of sensation cross over to the other side of the body at the spinal cord, not in the brainstem like the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway and corticospinal tract.
		The spinothalamic tract is the sensory pathway in the body that transmits pain, temperature, itch and crude touch.
		The name spinothalamic tells us sensation runs up the spinal cord to the thalamus; this is true but misleading, as all sensory pathways synapse at the thalamus.

	Medial lemniscus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is part of the posterior column-medial lemniscus system, which transmits touch, as well as the pathway for proprioception.
		The medial lemniscus, also known as Reil's band or Reil's ribbon, is a pathway in the brainstem that carries sensory information from the gracile and cuneate nuclei to the thalamus.
		At the open medulla (further up the brainstem), the medial lemniscus contains axons from the trigeminal nerve (which supplies the head region), as well as the arms and legs.

	BASIC SOMATOSENSORY PATHWAY
		The secondary afferents cross in the medulla and ascend as the medial lemniscus.
		The motor pathways are pathways which originate in the brain or brainstem and descend down the spinal cord to control the a-motor neurons.
		The postural pathways do not originate in cortex; instead their function is to maintain an upright posture against gravity, a task which requires hundreds of little muscular adjustments that we are not aware of.

	IX. Neurology. 4d. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The medial fillet passes upward in the ventral part of the formatio reticularis through the medulla oblongata, pons and mid-brain to the principal sensory nucleus of the ventro-lateral region of the thalamus.
		The sympathetic efferent fibers (splanchnic motor; viscero-motor; preganglionic fibers) are supposed to arise from cells in the intermediate zone between the dorsal and ventral gray columns and in the intermedio-lateral column at the margin of the lateral column.
		The posterior root fibers conducting these impulses pass into the fasciculus cuneatus and the collaterals from them to the nucleus dorsalis are said to come almost exclusively from the middle area of the fasciculus cuneatus.

		Its axon travels in the posterior limb of the internal capsule behind the pyramidal fibers and terminates in the sensory area of the cerebral cortex (areas 1, 2, and 3).
		In the spinal cord, it ascends for one or few segments at the tip of the posterior horn forming the Lissauer's tract, and then ends around the cells of the substantia gelatinosa of Rolandi which are present at the tip of the posterior horn of the grey matter.
		Although morphine alleviates pain, it aggravates itch, as itch and pain share common neurological pathways.

		In the spinal cord, the dorsal columns are predominantly responsible for conduction of the activity that generates the SEP. The lemniscal and thalamocortical pathways are involved in the brain.
		The auditory pathways are near the respiratory control centers in the brain stem; therefore, the electrophysiologic abnormalities of wave III and the IV-V complex may be a reflection of the disturbed central control of ventilation.
		It measures the conduction of the visual pathways from the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic radiations to the occipital cortex.

	SOMATO
		The central pathways associated with pain (nociceptive) and temperature are much more complex than the dorsal column medial lemniscus system.
		The cell bodies are located medial aspects of the dorsal horn and their axons terminate in either the cuneate or gracile nucleus, depending on segment of origin.
		The pathway is primarily associated with low-threshold mechanosensation (fine touch) as well as proprioception.

		The axons of the medial lemniscus reach the ventral posterior lateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus, whose cells form the third-order neurons.
		The axons of the second-order neuron, called the internal arcuate tract, cross the midline to form a large tract called the medial lemniscus.
		Pathways from the lower body terminate in the gracile nucleus, whereas pathways from the upper body terminate in the cuneate nucleus.

		For recording posterior tibial nerve SSEPs, the nerve is stimulated at the ankle, with the cathode midway between the Achilles tendon and the medial malleolus and the anode 3 cm distal to the cathode.
		During spinal surgery in children in whom cortical SSEPs are absent or easily attenuated by anesthesia, the far-field SSEP components may be used to monitor the dorsal column pathway of the spinal cord.
		The large-fiber, rapidly conducting afferent somatosensory pathways that sustain the primary cortical SSEPs to stimulation of mixed sensorimotor limb nerves travel predominantly in the dorsal columns within the spinal cord.

		Unlike the neurons in the dorsal column pathway the majority of primary sensory neurons in this pathway synapse with secondary sensory neurons located in the spinal cord in the substantia gelatinosa (the uppermost layers of the dorsal horn).
		Activation of descending inhibitory pathways activate inhibitory interneurons that terminate on the terminals of nociceptive neurons in the spinal cord and inhibit the release of substance P from the sensory fibers.

		· The dorsal column-medial lemniscus, spinothalamic and trigeminothalamaic pathways are second order sensory tracts which pass through the brainstem to the ventral posterior nuclei of the thalamus.
		· Spinothalamic pathways for the transmission of pain and temperature (lateral) and for simple touch/pressure (medial).
		· Information in the sensory pathways is edited a) by lateral inhibition to ‘sharpen up’ the stimulus and b) by reciprocal pathways from the cortex to the thalamus and brainstem to regulate the amount of ascending sensory information at any one time.

		One branch of their axon enters the posterior columns, and ascends all the way to the caudal medulla before synapsing in the posterior column nuclei.
		Finally, the axons of cells in nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus cross the midline in the medulla, and ascend together as the medial lemniscus to the somatic sensory part of the thalamus.
		There are also lots of axons in the posterior columns which originate from spinal cord neurons rather than from primary sensory neurons.

		El nombre viene de las dos estructuras que viaja la sensación hacia arriba: las columnas posteriores (o dorsal) de la médula espinal, y el lemniscus intermedio en el brainstem.
