Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anterior spinocerebellar tract does not use tertiary neurons in its pathway. It carries proprioceptive information directly to the cerebellum from the lower body and legs, typically involving primary and secondary neurons, but not tertiary neurons. In contrast, the pathways listed in options A, B, C, and D involve tertiary neurons as they project to the cerebral cortex.
