Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (PCML) (also known as the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway) is a sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys localized sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and joints. It transmits information from the body to the postcentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex.
There are three neurons involved in the pathway: first-order neurons, second-order neurons, and third-order neurons. The first-order neurons reside in dorsal root ganglia and send their axons through the gracile fasciculus and cuneate fasciculus.[The first-order axons make contact with second order neurons at the gracile and cuneate nuclei in the lower medulla. The second-order neurons send their axons to the thalamus. The third order neurons arise from thalamus to the postcentral gyrus.
The posterior column is composed of gracile fasciculus and cuneate fasciculus. The gracile fasciculus carries input from the lower half of the body and the cuneate fasciculus carries input from the upper half of the body. The gracile fasciculus arise from the fibers more medial than the cuneate fasciculus.
When the axons of second-order neurons of the dorsal column system decussate in the medulla, they are called internal arcuate fibers. The crossings of the internal arcuate fibers form the medial lemniscus.
The name comes from the two structures that the sensation travels up: the posterior (or dorsal) column of the spinal cord, and the medial lemniscus in the brainstem.
The PCML pathway is composed of rapidly conducting, large, myelinated fibers.
First neuron
This fine sensation is detected by mechanoreceptors called tactile corpuscles that lie in the dermis of the skin close to the epidermis. When these structures are stimulated by slight pressure, an action potential is started. Alternatively, proprioceptive muscle spindles and other skin surface touch receptors such as Merkel cells, bulbous corpuscles, lamellar corpuscles, and hair follicle receptors (peritrichial endings) may involve the first neuron in this pathway.
Example of a pseudounipolar neuron. Note the single process (axon) originating from the cell body then splitting into two branches.
The sensory neurons in this pathway are pseudounipolar, meaning that they have a single process emanating from the soma (also known as the cell body, perikaryon, or cyton) with two distinct branches: one peripheral branch that functions somewhat like a dendrite of a typical neuron by receiving input (although it should not be confused with a true dendrite), and one central branch that functions like a typical axon by carrying information to other neurons (again, both branches are actually part of one axon).

not all heroes wear capes.... some make insanely helpful videos on youtube! thank you sir sincerely a student who was STRESSSSIIIINNNGGG
hey,i saw two of your videos and i can tell that you make a great job but i think it would be better if you analyze its topic completely . For example the spinal tracts- you mentioned only the basic ascending ones . You have been really helpful, ihope you take my suggestion under consideration and continue the good job!

👍👍👍this was really good..just 5 minutes to understand such a confusing topic..the way you explained is awesomee...expectingore and more... 🙌🙌
Good video, easy to understand,short and concise.
Excellent 👌 n ur voice is clear too thank you☺️
amazinggg!!! thank u so much.....ill do well on my exam:) neuro is interesting but alot
Really Helpful summary of dorsum column.
I'm a physiotherapist and i find ur videos extremely helpful to get a quick glance.... Luv these. keep gng
Becoz of ur...speed it d best, your... videos saves..lot of time and gives explanation sufficiently...Thank you 🙏
Best brief description bro.... Thanks a lot ❣️
Dude , you're amazing. Thank you so much for making this video
❤👍👍👍👍
What's the importance of the decussation ??!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Dorsal column and fine touch both r same or different
PG level ka diya he....
MBBS level ka diji ye sir
awesome Video,, thankyou sir 🙏😅
It was really helpful. nice work.. thumbs up.. !! (Y)
+Kartikey Kunwar Thanks for the appreciation sir
Thanks, clear and informative. :)
really helpful thank you :)
what a fantastic job....!!!! I hope every educative video on youtube was so simple and descriptive. I am currently preparing for mcq exams and your videos help me crack most questions. thank you so so much .....You made me understand the concept so fast and so quickly...!!

See, I just did it on my own comment
And my comment to my comment.
very nice and brief explanation
thanks for uploading..very helpful video

Awesome. Very well done... thank you.
I think when decussation occurs , the red fibres will be placed more postero- laterally and blue one more anterio- medially. Hence after decussation the fibres from lower part of body are laterally and those of thoracic region more medially.
❤❤❤ the bestest videos I have ever seen ❤
Please make more video on nervous system
May Allah bless you, thankyou!!!
excellent video way to keep it simple.
+brianmccullough1 thank you sir
nice thanks
very nice👍
thank u .
