The somatosensory system in mammals collects information from receptors in the skin, muscle, and joints. The dorsal root ganglion cells and trigeminal ganglion cells that receive this information send their central processes to synapse on neurons in the spinal cord and hindbrain.

This chapter explains that skin is the interface between the body and the outside world. Skin is not uniformly sensitive over its surface. The chapter analyses the punctate distribution of various sensations: specific points of the skin are sensitive to touch, others are sensitive to cooling, warming, or noxious stimuli.

Sensory information from body tissues such as the skin, muscles, joints and viscera reaches, the brain via two distinct routes represented by the lemniscal system and the extralemniscal or anterolateral system. Together these two pathways form the somatosensory afferent system.

Ascending Somatosensory Systems
1996An ascending somatosensory pathway can be considered literally as any axonal conduction route from the spinal cord or brain stem to higher levels of the brain. There are a number of such pathways, which convey somatosensory information to the brain for three purposes: arousal and attention, movement control, and the perception of somatic sensation.

Ascending Somatosensory Systems
1986The ascending somatosensory pathways signal to the brain information concerning stimuli that are applied to the body or head. This chapter considers only those pathways that convey sensory information from the body. The term “somatosensory” is somewhat misleading, since the somatosensory pathways are used for the perception of signals originating from ...

The somatosensory system has by far the largest number of receptor types of any of the primate sensory systems, including mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, nociceptors and thermoreceptors. The sensation of touch is mainly mediated by mechanoreceptors, but there are a number of other processing channels within the somatosensory system for proprioception,
