The fibers of the anterior spinothalamic tract conduct information about pressure and crude touch ( prothopatic ).
12.
These messages are then relayed to the brain along an ascending pathway, for example the spinothalamic tract.
13.
Neurons of the cingulum receive afferent fibers from the parts of the thalamus that are associated with the spinothalamic tract.
14.
The spinothalamic tract is damaged, resulting in loss of pain and temperature sensation on the opposite side of the body.
15.
The location of the spinothalamic tract is important clinically due of the characteristic sensory deficits that follow certain spinal cord injuries.
16.
After synapsing, secondary axons decussate and ascend in the anterior lateral portion of the spinal cord as the spinothalamic tract.
17.
Pain-temperature information from the body is carried to the thalamus by the spinothalamic tract, and from the face by the anterior trigeminothalamic tract.
18.
He is brought to a hospital and subjected to a radical treatment which cuts the nerves of the spinothalamic tract, so physical pain is no longer felt.
19.
The zona incerta receives pain input through the spinothalamic tract and this has been shown to control the activity of the pain transmission pathway in the posterior thalamus.
20.
The spinothalamic tract, like the dorsal column-medial lemniscus tract, uses three neurons to convey sensory information from the periphery to conscious level at the cerebral cortex.
