Spinothalamic Tract - Ascending Tracts - Spinocerebellar Tract - Neuroanatomy

This course explains the organization and function of sensory ascending tracts, including the spinothalamic, dorsal column–medial lemniscus, and spinocerebellar pathways. It also covers pain and temperature transmission, gating theory, descending analgesia, and minor ascending pathways.
