Lateral spinothalamic tract
The lateral spinothalamic tract carries sensation of:
- pain
- temperature
- crude tactile sensation
These relay in the cord (posterior horn), and cross the midline a few segments higher to the opposite spinothalamic tract. They then travel in the lateral spinothalamic tract to the thalamus.
