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,
