Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The spinothalamic tracts are also known as the anterolateral system, which transmits signals from the skin to the thalamus in the brain. They are composed of all the three orders (the first, second, and the third order) of the neurons. These tracts transmit temperature and pain sensations from the skin to the thalamus in the brain.
