Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spinocerebellar tract is the spinal tract that carries sensations from proprioceptors (detects changes in muscle length and tension) to the cerebellum of the CNS. The fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus tracts carry information about touch, pressure, and body position, while the spinothalamic tracts carry information about pain and temperature.
