Topic: Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway


  
 IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
The medial lemniscus may be considered as the upward continuation of the posterior funiculus of the spinal cord and to convey conscious impulses of muscle sense and tactile discrimination.
The greater part of the medial lemniscus, on the other hand, is prolonged through the tegmentum, and most of its fibers end in the thalamus; probably some are continued directly through the occipital part of the internal capsule to the cerebral cortex.
Fibers are said to pass through the medial longitudinal fasciculus from the nucleus of the abducent nerve into the oculomotor nerve of the opposite side, and through this nerve to the Rectus medialis oculi.

 BASIC SOMATOSENSORY PATHWAY
Once the pathways synapse in the brainstem, they join the pathways from the body on their way up to the thalamus.
The motor pathways are pathways which originate in the brain or brainstem and descend down the spinal cord to control the a-motor neurons.
The pathway is as follows: the vestibular nerve enters the brainstem and synapses in the vestibular nucleus.

 Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The spinothalamic tract is the sensory pathway in the body that transmits pain, temperature, itch and crude touch.
These types of sensation cross over to the other side of the body at the spinal cord, not in the brainstem like the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway and corticospinal tract.
The name spinothalamic tells us sensation runs up the spinal cord to the thalamus; this is true but misleading, as all sensory pathways synapse at the thalamus.

 IX. Neurology. 4a. The Hind-brain or Rhombencephalon. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
The fibers of the vestibular nerve enter the medulla oblongata on the medial side of those of the cochlear, and pass between the inferior peduncle and the spinal tract of the trigeminal.
The head of the posterior column forms a long nucleus, in which the fibers of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve largely end.
(a) The medial (dorsal or chief vestibular nucleus), corresponding to the lower part of the area acustica in the rhomboid fossa; the caudal end of this nucleus is sometimes termed the descending or spinal vestibular nucleus.

Sensory Pathways from the Spinal Cord to the Brain.
The cerebellar reflex are is supposed to be completed by the fibers of the superior peduncle which pass from the cerebellum to the red nucleus of the mid-brain where some of their terminals and collaterals form synapses with neurons whose axons descend to the spinal cord in the rubrospinal fasciculus.
The pain and temperature pathways in the lateral spinothalamic fasciculus are not so closely intermingled but that one can be destroyed without injury to the other.

 Lecture notes
The pathways consist of first-order, second-order, and third-order neurons.
The neural pathway for tickle, itch, crude touch, and pressure is the anterior spinothalamic pathway (Figure 15.6).
The third and inner coat of the eye, the retina (nervous tunic), lines the posterior three-quarters of the eyeball and is the beginning of the visual pathway (Figure 16.6).

 eMedicine - Clinical Utility of Evoked Potentials : Article by Leslie Huszar, MD
In the spinal cord, the dorsal columns are predominantly responsible for conduction of the activity that generates the SEP. The lemniscal and thalamocortical pathways are involved in the brain.
It measures the conduction of the visual pathways from the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic radiations to the occipital cortex.
Since the VEP measures the pathway from the retina to area 17, a normal P100 does not exclude lesions of the visual pathway beyond area 17.

 SENSORY SYSTEMS
Unlike the neurons in the dorsal column pathway the majority of primary sensory neurons in this pathway synapse with secondary sensory neurons located in the spinal cord in the substantia gelatinosa (the uppermost layers of the dorsal horn).
Secondary sensory neurons cross over the midline at the level of the spinal cord and ascend to the brain in the anterolateral pathway which is along the anterior and lateral portion of the spinal cord.

The central pathways associated with pain (nociceptive) and temperature are much more complex than the dorsal column medial lemniscus system.
The pathway is primarily associated with low-threshold mechanosensation (fine touch) as well as proprioception.

 eMedicine - Somatosensory Evoked Potentials: General Principles : Article by Emad Soliman, MD, MSc
During spinal surgery in children in whom cortical SSEPs are absent or easily attenuated by anesthesia, the far-field SSEP components may be used to monitor the dorsal column pathway of the spinal cord.
The normal latency value for a component in a particular individual may be different from that implied by the component's name, because the lengths of the peripheral nerve and spinal conduction pathways, which vary with the patient's stature and age, influence the latencies of the SSEP components.
The large-fiber, rapidly conducting afferent somatosensory pathways that sustain the primary cortical SSEPs to stimulation of mixed sensorimotor limb nerves travel predominantly in the dorsal columns within the spinal cord.

The importance of the spinocerebellar pathways is demonstrated by the conduction velocity of its component fibers.
His research demonstrated that efferent pathways from the vermis/fastigial nucleus could stimulate pleasure centers located in the septal nuclei of the hypothalamus and corticomedial amygdala, and simultaneously inhibit adversive emotion centers located in the hippocampus and dorsolateral amygdala.
Heath applied electrical stimulation to the vermis to activate this pathway in his treatment of psychiatric patients.

· The dorsal column-medial lemniscus, spinothalamic and trigeminothalamaic pathways are second order sensory tracts which pass through the brainstem to the ventral posterior nuclei of the thalamus.
· Information in the sensory pathways is edited a) by lateral inhibition to ‘sharpen up’ the stimulus and b) by reciprocal pathways from the cortex to the thalamus and brainstem to regulate the amount of ascending sensory information at any one time.
· Spinothalamic pathways for the transmission of pain and temperature (lateral) and for simple touch/pressure (medial).
