Question
which tract carries sensory information from the face to the thalamus?
trigeminal pathway
spinothalamic
dorsal columns
spinocerebellar
The trigeminal pathway is responsible for carrying sensory information (such as touch, pain, temperature) from the face to the thalamus. The spinothalamic tract carries sensory information (pain, temperature, crude touch) from the body (not the face). The dorsal columns carry fine touch, vibration, and proprioception from the body. The spinocerebellar tracts carry proprioceptive information to the cerebellum for coordination of movement.
