A
Fasciculus gracilis
B
Fasciculus cuneatus

High-Yield Explanation
Stereognosis is the ability to identify an object by its touch, texture. The object is placed in hands and is identified without seeing it. Fine touch sensation from the upper limb is carried toward coex in fasciculus cuneatus. The tract also carries the finer aspects of touch. Perception of touch occurs in the somatosensory coex I (areas 3, 1, 2); analysis and interpretation of the touch is done in the somatosensory coex II (areas 5, 7).
