Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The posterior column is responsible for carrying highly localized sensory information concerning fine touch and pressure. The spinocerebellar pathway carries proprioceptive information, the corticospinal pathway carries motor information, the medial and lateral pathways carry pain and temperature information, and the spinothalamic pathway carries crude touch and pressure information.
