The dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway transmits discriminative touch and conscious proprioception signals to the cerebral cortex. b. The spinothalamic pathway transmits nondiscriminative sensations (pain, temperature, pressure) to the primary somatosensory cortex. c. The dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway decussates in the medulla and then ascends through the pons and midbrain to the thalamus. O d. The spinocerebellar tract is a tract originating in the spinal cord and terminating in the same side (ipsilateral) of the cerebellum. O e. In the spinothalamic pathway, axons of the second-order neurons decussate at the medulla then enter the lateral and ventral funiculi as the spinothalamic tract, and ascend to the thalamus Next pagearrow_forward
