Name 2 somatosensory receptors that project to the medial lemniscal pathway . Imagine that you are reading braille with your right index finger. The mechanoreceptor sends action potentials up the arm , through the dorsal root ganglion to the spinal cord. When the axon of the medial-lemniscal pathway neuron that is postsynaptic (i.e. next) after the receptor neuron starts to ascend to the brain where does the axon go in the section of the spinal cord . Is it on the ipsilateral or contralateral side, and where does it cross to become contralateral ?
