Sensorimotor Integration at the Dorsal Column Nuclei.
Interaction among primary afferents, corticofugal fibers, and intrinsic elements allows for sensorimotor integration at the dorsal column nuclei. The interneurons permit the spatial localization, the recurrent collaterals synchronize the activity of projecting cells with overlapping receptive fields, and the corticofugal fibers induce a central zone of activity surrounded by a peripheral zone of inhibition.
