Some major axonal pathways in mammals: Spinoreticular, trigeminoreticular tracts (mostly ipsilateral) Spinothalamic tract; longest axons reach the ventrobasal nuc. of thalamus (VB = VPM and VPL) Dorsal columns, connecting to the medial lemniscus pathway, which projects to the ventrobasal nuc. of thalamus Corticospinal & corticopontine pathways (the former connect to all levels of CNS, the latter connecting to the pons, hence to cerebellum) 53
