Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anteriolateral pathways are involved in the emotional aspects of perception, such as pain and temperature sensation, rather than the discriminative aspects. They receive inputs from multiple types of sensory receptors, rather than a single type. The lemniscal system is a separate pathway that is responsible for discriminative touch and proprioception. The evolution of these pathways is not relevant to their function.
