Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spinothalamic pathway is responsible for delivering poorly localized sensations of touch, pressure, pain, and temperature to the primary sensory cortex. The other pathways listed (medial, spinocerebellar, lateral, and posterior column) are involved in different aspects of somatosensory processing, such as proprioception, fine touch discrimination, and motor control.
