Which of the following statement is TRUE about spinocerebellar tract?
High-Yield Explanation
The spinocerebellar pathway is organised into the ventral and dorsal tracts. Both these tracts transmits proprioceptive and exteroceptive impulses from the body. They occupy the periphery of the lateral aspect of the spinal white matter and carry proprioceptive and cutaneous information to the cerebellum for the coordination of movement and maintenance of posture.
