(Sensory data from the head, including sight, sound, smell, and taste, do not pass through the spinal cord and are not affected by most SCIs.)
thalamus.
The thalamus relays sensory information from the spinal cord and midbrain to the cerebral cortex. It acts as a gateway for sensory input, helping to process and transmit signals related to touch, pain, temperature, and other sensory modalities to the higher brain regions for further processing and perception.
The thalamus is the brain structure that directs sensory and motor neuron pathways passing between the spinal cord and cerebral cortex. It acts as a relay station for sensory information to reach the cortex for processing and plays a key role in regulating motor functions.
damaging or killing neurons and neuroglia in the affected areas
The higher the injuries are in the spinal cord, the more structures are affected. Any injury above the C5 level is frequently lethal as it affects the diaphragm for breathing.
The cerebral peduncles are found in the midbrain and are responsible for connecting the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord. They carry important motor and sensory information between these two regions. Damage to the cerebral peduncles can result in various neurological deficits.

Spinal Nerves Are Both Sensory and Motor. Spinal nerves are not one or the other.
