Trigeminal Lemniscus Pathway EXPLAINED! | Facial Sensation

The video tutorial explains the trigeminal pathway, an ascending pathway similar to the spinothalamic pathway, responsible for relaying sensory information from the face, head, and upper neck to the somatosensory cortex. It details the structure, function, and unique features of the pathway, including its three-neuron system and the role of the trigeminal nerve. The tutorial also covers the processing of sensory information such as pain, temperature, and touch, highlighting the pathway's ability to localize sensations.
