Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway
Dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway The formation of the spinal nerve from the dorsal and ventral roots. Originating in peripheral sensory receptors, the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway transmits fine touch and conscious proprioceptive information to the brain.
