bullet::::- afferent signals from the vagus nerve enter the brainstem making synaptic connections with the nucleus of the solitary tract and parabrachial nucleus









































bullet::::- the signal is relayed to the ventromedial basal nucleus of the thalamus









































bullet::::- third order neurons send the signal to the posterior insula









































section::::neuroanatomical pathways.:somatosensory pathway.









































the somatosensory pathway relays information about proprioception and discriminative touch to the brain through different receptors in the skin.









































bullet::::- afferent signals from the mechanoreceptors or proprioceptors enter the spinal cord at the dorsal root ganglia
interoception
