After joining the spinal cord, the fibres cross after ascending 1–2 segments and synapse in Lissauer's tract. From there, the fibres ascend as the lateral or anterior spinothalamic tract, and terminate in the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus.
Where does the spinothalamic tract end?
The spinothalamic tract terminates mainly in the ventroposterolateral nucleus, ventroposteromedial nucleus, the intralaminar nuclei, mainly the central lateral nucleus, and the posterior complex.
Where does the spinothalamic tract start and end?
Anterior spinothalamic tract
These second order neurons ascend synapsing in the VPL of the thalamus. Incoming first order neurons can ascend or descend via the Lissauer tract. This is a somewhat doubtful fasciculus and its fibers are supposed to end in the thalamus and to conduct certain of the touch impulses.
