| 1. | Would these two stimuli send identical signals through the spinothalamic tract?
|
| 2. | The spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway originating in the spinal cord.
|
| 3. | The spinothalamic tract consists of two adjacent pathways : anterior and lateral.
|
| 4. | The spinothalamic tract is normally divided at the level C1-C2.
|
| 5. | The lateral funiculus transmits the contralateral corticospinal and spinothalamic tracts.
|
| 6. | The anterior spinothalamic tract carries information about crude touch.
|
| 7. | Specifically, crude touch and pressure sensation conveyed through the anterior spinothalamic tract.
|
| 8. | The lateral spinothalamic tract conveys pain and temperature.
|
| 9. | Similarly, afferent fibres from the spinothalamic tract synapse at the periaqueductal grey matter.
