The lemniscal system is a polysynaptic pathway that ascends through the reticular formation projecting to the diencephalon.

It consists of a number of structures:

  • Lateral lemniscus - running through the medulla and pons carrying fibres to the auditory system
  • Medial lemniscus - moves through the medulla and pons carrying somatosensory fibres
  • Spinothalamic tracts
  • Trigeminal lemniscus - carries afferent fibres from the trigeminal nerve to the thalamus
