dorsal spinocerebellar tract

This relay pathway is generally known as the dorsal spinocerebellar tract.

It is part of the somatosensory system and runs in parallel with the dorsal spinocerebellar tract.

These include the ventral and dorsal spinocerebellar tracts.

The term "cuneocerebellar tract" is also used to describe an analogue to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract for the upper limbs.

Unconscious proprioception is communicated primarily via the dorsal spinocerebellar tract and ventral spinocerebellar tract, to the cerebellum.

The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (posterior spinocerebellar tract, Flechsig's fasciculus, Flechsig's tract) conveys inconscient proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum.

When the dorsal roots are cut in a cat performing a step cycle, peripheral excitation is lost, and the dorsal spinocerebellar tract has no activity; the ventral spinocerebellar tract continues to show activity.

Axonal projections from neurons in this nucleus give rise to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract which ascends ipsilaterally through the spinal cord and ends as Mossy fibers in the ipsilateral cerebellar cortex after passing through the inferior cerebellar peduncle.
