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. Neuropathic pain is often the result of a lesion in spinothalamic pathways. 6. The lateral funiculus transmits the contralateral corticospinal and spinothalamic tracts. 7. The anterior spinothalamic tract carries information about crude touch. 8. Specifically, crude touch and pressure sensation conveyed through the anterior spinothalamic tract. 9. The lateral spinothalamic tract conveys pain and temperature. 10. Similarly, afferent fibres from the spinothalamic tract synapse at the periaqueductal grey matter.
