Description: This template shows how mechanosensory and pain/temperature afferent fibers carry signals from the hand through the dorsal root ganglion into the spinal cord, then up to the thalamus and somatosensory cortex in the brain. A zoomed inset highlights the two fiber types converging at the dorsal root ganglion before entering the spinal cord.
