Also learn the organization of spinal nerves and which tracts are responsible for proprioception, vibration, pain, temperature, and motor movement. Where do synapses occur? How do you remember the difference between the spinothalamic, corticospinal, and DCML (dorsal column-medial lemniscus) tracts? We will show you.
