Sensory fibers arising from receptors in skin enter the spinal cord. From there the information travels to the brain stem, at which point most fibers from each side of the body cross over to the opposite side of the brain. Then the information about touch moves on to the thalamus, which serves as arelay station. The thalamus then projects the map of the body’s surface onto the somatosensory area of the partial lobes in the cerebral cortex.
