Scope note: Haz de FIBRAS NERVIOSAS que conecta cada asta posterior de la médula espinal con el lado contralateral del TÁLAMO y transmite información sobre el dolor, la temperatura y el tacto. Constituye una de las principales rutas por las que las FIBRAS NERVIOSAS aferentes de la médula espinal transmiten información somatoestésica hacia el TÁLAMO.
