    Study Notes

    Sensory Pathways

    • First-order neurons are found in peripheral sensory receptors and transmit sensory information to the spinal cord or brainstem.
    • Second-order neurons are located in the spinal cord or brainstem and transmit information to the thalamus.
    • Third-order neurons are found in the thalamus and transmit information to the cerebral cortex.

    Spinothalamic Pathway

    • The spinothalamic pathway carries information related to pain, temperature, and crude touch.

    Corticospinal Pathway

    • Upper motor neurons are located in the primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, and supplemental motor cortex, and transmit voluntary motor signals to the spinal cord.

    Sensory Homunculus

    • The sensory homunculus represents a map of the body's sensory areas, with each area corresponding to a specific part of the body, and the size of each area reflects the relative importance of that sensory input.
