What is the difference between lateral spinothalamic and anterior spinothalamic tracts?
Lateral spinothalamic tract = carry pain and temperature sensationsAnterior spinothalamic tract = carry crude touch and light pressure
What are the origins for lateral spinothalamic and anterior spinothalamic tracts?
Lateral reticulospinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly medulla)Medial reticulspinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly pons)
What is the pathway for crude pain?
The lateral spinothalamic tract (it carries sensation for temperature and pain) whereas the anterior spinothalamic tract carries sensation for light touch and pressure.
What are nueral tracts that convey life saving information to the brain concerning burning pain?
lateral spinothalamic
What is lateral corticospinal tract?
Lateral corticospinal tract is the part of pyramidal tract that consists of crossed pyramidal fibres. So, it's also called as "crossed pyramidal tract".as for anterior corticospinal tract, it consists of uncrossed pyramidal fibres.

What are nueral tracts that convey life saving information to the brain concerning burning pain?
lateral spinothalamic
What does spinothalamic tract do?
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a bundle of sensory axons ascending through the white matter of the spinal cord, carrying sensory information to thebrain. It carries pain and temperature sensory information to the thalamus of the brain
What tract conducts impulse from the spinal cord to the thalamus?
to the spinothalamic tract
Does the spinothalamic tract have somatotopic organisation?
yes the spinothalamic tract is highly organised somatotopically. In the cervical segments (which contain fibres from all levels of the body), fibres from lower levels of the cord (conveying info from legs) are found laterally within the tract; fibres from higher levels (conveying info from arms) are found medially within the tract. i.e ARMS = MEDIAL LEGS = LATERAL Hope that helps =)
What tract conveys nerve impulses for crude touch and pressure?
spinothalamic, it is a somatosensory pathway
The white matter tract in the ventral portion of the mid-brain?
spinothalamic tract
What tract might be damaged if there is diminished pain perception?
The spinothalamic tract is damaged.
Which spinal cord tracts carry impulses for conscious sensations?
Lateral Spinothalamic
What is lateral corticospinal tract?
Lateral corticospinal tract is the part of pyramidal tract that consists of crossed pyramidal fibres. So, it's also called as "crossed pyramidal tract".as for anterior corticospinal tract, it consists of uncrossed pyramidal fibres.
