, 15:43, 6 March 2011→=Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tract
These tracts transmit information from proprioception receptors, including information from muscle receptors, joint receptors and golgi tendon organs. Most sensory information enters the [[Spinal Cord - Anatomy & Physiology|spinal cord]] on the ipsilateral side to the stimulus but some do cross to the contralateral side of the body. Contralateral signals pass back to the ipsilateral side of the body in the brain. Information is processed in the [[Hindbrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Cerebellum|cerebellum]] and is therefore processed unconsciously.

The dorsal spinocerebellar tract relays muscle spindle and golgi tendon organ information from the hindlimbs to the [[Hindbrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Cerebellum|cerebellum]].
