Trigeminal Lemniscus Pathway EXPLAINED! | Facial Sensation

The video tutorial explains the trigeminal pathway, an ascending pathway similar to the spinothalamic pathway, responsible for relaying sensory information from the face, head, and upper neck to the somatosensory cortex. It details the structure, function, and unique features of the pathway, including its three-neuron system and the role of the trigeminal nerve. The tutorial also covers the processing of sensory information such as pain, temperature, and touch, highlighting the pathway's ability to localize sensations.

What types of sensory information does the trigeminal pathway relay?

Describe the process of decussation in the trigeminal pathway.

What are the roles of the second-order and third-order neurons in the trigeminal pathway?

How is sensory information from the trigeminal pathway ultimately processed in the brain?
