What is the name of the synapse site in the brain for afferent fibers that travel to the sensory cortex?

i think it is the choroid plexus....not for sure though ---- Afferent sensory fibers (those returning to the brain from the periphery) synapse first in the posterior horn of the spinal cord, ascend one to two levels and decussate (cross over) at the anterior white commissure before their axons migrate to the anterior or lateral spinothalamic tracts. These then synapse again in the thalamus for integration before they go on to the post-central gyrus - the sensory cortex - and other sites in the cortex.
