Cortex, Spinal Cord, Thalamus Flashcards
Association Fibers
Connect Portions of Same hemisphere
III –> II
Commissural Fibers
Cross midline, Connect different hemisphere
III –> II
Projection Fibers
V –> Subcortical
Thalamocortical Fibers
Thalamus –> IV
CorticalThalamic Fibers
VI –> Thalamus
Meninges of Brain
1.) Dura “Tough Mother” 2x
2.) Arachnoid “Spider-Web”
3.) Pia Mater “Transulcent”
Dorsal Column Medial Leminscal Pathway Neurons
3 Neuron
1= DRG
2=Nucleus Cuteneus(T5 above)/Gracialis(T6 below) in medulla
3= VPL in Thalamus (LAYER 5)
Dorsal Column Medial Leminscal Pathway Crossover
Crosses over @Nuclei C/G then ascends as medial lemniscal tract

Senses: Touch, Pressure, Vibration, Conscious Proprioception
Lateral SpinalThalamic Tract Neurons
1: DRG
2: Dorsal Horn of Spinal Cord Lamina II or IV
3: VPL in Thalamus (LAYER 5)
Lateral SpinalThalamic Tract Crossover
Cross @ anterior white commissure
Lateral SpinalThalamic Tract Senses
