A 40 year old male has just been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. A recent MRI has shown significant demyelination of the gracile nucleus of the dorsal columnar-medial lemniscal pathway. Describe the physiology of this pathway and discuss what neurological deficits this patient will experience due to his lesion.
