Dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway

The dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway is a neural pathway in the nervous system responsible for transmitting sensations like touch, vibration, and proprioception (the sense of body position) from the body to the brain. When you touch something, sensory receptors in your skin send signals through nearby nerves to the spinal cord and up to the brain. This pathway ensures that these signals reach the brain's sensory areas, allowing you to perceive and interpret these sensations accurately. It plays a crucial role in how we interact with our environment and maintain balance and coordination.
