What is the primary pathway through which proprioceptive information from the lower limb enters the ipsilateral cerebellum?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific pathway that carries proprioceptive information from the lower limb to the ipsilateral cerebellum. It presents multiple choices that represent different neural pathways.
Answer
Posterior spinocerebellar tract.
The primary pathway through which proprioceptive information from the lower limb enters the ipsilateral cerebellum is the posterior spinocerebellar tract.
Answer for screen readers
The primary pathway through which proprioceptive information from the lower limb enters the ipsilateral cerebellum is the posterior spinocerebellar tract.
More Information
The posterior spinocerebellar tract carries unconscious proprioceptive information from the lower limbs to the cerebellum, primarily entering through the inferior cerebellar peduncle.
Tips
Often confused with other spinocerebellar tracts, but it specifically carries lower limb information to the ipsilateral cerebellum.
