The posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway PCML for short (also known as the dorsal column dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway or the dorsal white column-medial lemniscus system) is the sensory pathway responsible for transmitting fine touch vibration and conscious proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebral cortex; as well as tactile pressure barognosis graphesthesia stereognosis recognition of texture kinesthesia and two-point discrimination.The name comes from the two structures that the sensation travels up: the posterior (or dorsal) columns of the spinal cord and the medial lemniscus in the brainstem.
