Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 29CTQ
Following a motorcycle accident, the victim loses the ability to move the right leg but has normal control over the left one, suggesting a hemisection somewhere in the thoracic region of the spinal cord. What sensory deficits would be expected in terms of touch versus pain? Explain your answer.

In some cases, phantom limb pain appears to be related to the patient's perception that the phantom limb is held in an uncomfortable position.
True or False?
Explain the ascending pathway of how the information about touch sensation travels from the right arm up to the brain where he is aware that he has been touched. (Use complete sentences.) Use these key words in this order: sensory neuron, radial nerve in brachial plexus, spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal horn in cervical spinal cord, ascending tract, decussate, somatosensory cortex in postcentral gyrus, parietal lobe, Mr. Dexter thinks “Someone touched my arm.”)
Regarding Spinal Cord Lesions:
Damage to the lateral spinothalamic and anterior spinothalamic tracts results in contralateral loss of sensation. Why does damage to the dorsal columns result in ipsilateral loss of sensation, when this pathway also crosses the midline? Thank you.
