Three Ascending Spinal Pathways in the Dorsal Part of the Lateral Funiculus

Abstract

Abstract L undberg , A. and O. O scarsson . Three ascending spinal pathways in the dorsal part of the lateral funiculus. Three pathways with axons ascending in the dorsal part of the lateral funicle have been identified as not belonging to the dorsal spino‐cerebellar tract because the axons could be activated on stimulation of the lateral funicle in L5 below the caudal level of Clarke's column but not antidromically from the anterior cerebellar lobe cortex. One of these pathways is located medial to the dorsal spino‐cerebellar tract and is activated exclusively by tactile stimuli from small skin fields.
