8 sie 2023 · The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT), also known as the posterior spinocerebellar tract or Flechsig tract, is a somatosensory part of the sensory nervous system that relays unconscious proprioceptive information from the lower limbs and trunk of the body to the cerebellum.
12 cze 2023 · The spinocerebellar tract carries unconscious proprioceptive information from peripheral receptors (muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs and joint capsules), through the spinal cord and brainstem to the cerebellum.
The Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tract refers to a neural pathway that conveys information from muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, joints, touch, and pressure receptors of the lower extremities to the vermis and paravermal region of the cerebellum, aiding in the coordination and control of movement in the hindlimb regions.
The dorsal spinocerebellar tract conveys proprioceptive information from proprioceptors in the skeletal muscles and joints to the cerebellum. It is part of the somatosensory system and runs in parallel with the ventral spinocerebellar tract.
The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (posterior spinocerebellar tract, Flechsig's fasciculus, Flechsig's tract) conveys proprioceptive information from proprioceptors in the skeletal muscles and joints to the cerebellum.
The dorsal spinocerebellar tract conveys low range proprioceptive stimuli from receptors located in muscles, tendons, and joints of the hind limb. Axons enter the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle and the projections are mainly ipsilateral, though a contralateral projection is also present (Matsushita and Gao, 1997).
There are two principal spinocerebellar tracts which carry information from the lower extremities, the dorsal (posterior) spinocerebellar and the ventral (anterior) spinocerebellar tracts (See Figure 10.1).
