Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spinothalamic, gracile fasciculus, posterior column-medial lemniscus, and cuneate fasciculus pathways are responsible for carrying all conscious sensory information in the spinal cord. The spinothalamic tract carries pain and temperature sensations, while the gracile fasciculus, posterior column-medial lemniscus, and cuneate fasciculus pathways are involved in carrying fine touch, vibration, and proprioception information. The spinocerebellar tract, not included in this selection, is primarily involved in unconscious proprioception.
