<prompt> Lesion in the medial lemniscus at the level of pons causes which of the following?Pain and temperature loss in the same sidePain and temperature loss in the opposite sideLoss of tactile and proprioception on the same sideLoss of tactile and proprioception on the oppposite side  <response>: Lesion in the medial lemniscus at the level of pons causes loss of tactile and proprioception on the opposite side. Fibers of medial lemniscus ascend ipsilaterally in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord to the medulla, where they synapse in the gracilis and cuneate nuclei. The second order neurons from these nuclei cross the midline and ascend in the medial lemniscus to end in the contralateral ventral posterior lateral VPL nucleus and related specific sensory relay nuclei of the thalamus.
