Major Somatosensory Pathways Case Study

The major somatosensory pathways are:
The lateral corticospinal tract which controlls motor fucntions, particularlly in the arms, and is located near the dorsal root ganglion.
The Medial corticospinal tract which controlls muscles and motor functions, and is located in lower medulla.
The anterolateral tract which controlls process of pain and touch, and is located in the spinal cord.

The spinal cord hemisection at the level of L1 is a hemicord lesion, also know as Brown-Sequard syndorme.
The effects of this are:
Ipsilateral upper motor weakness. This involves the lateral corticospinal tract(motor functions)
Ipsilateral loss of proprioception sense and vibration sense. This involves the medial corticospinal tract which controll fucntions that
