SOMATOSENSORY PHYSIOLOGY (Tactile Discrimination and Proprioception)
2
Anterolateral and Dorsal Column Systems
From Kandel,Schwartz, and Jessell, 2000, 22-14
3
SOMATOSENSORY SYSTEMS
ANTEROLATERAL SYSTEM Light touch sensation (light touch and crude localization) Temperature Nociception (pain, tickle, itch) DORSAL COLUMN SYSTEM Tactile discrimination (point localization, stereognosis) Proprioception (limb position and movement)

Injury To The Dorsal Columns CLINICAL SIGNS
Loss of two-point discrimination Loss of vibration sense Inability to recognize limb position without visual information Inability to recognize letters or numbers drawn on the skin (agraphesthesia) Loss of ability to recognize objects by palpation and handling (astereognosis) Inability to maintain posture (balance) when feet are close together and eyes closed (Positive Romberg sign)
