       The anterolateral pathway forms a reasonably compact bundle of fibers that ascend through the lateral part of the medula. Fibers of the spinoreticular division begin to "peel off" at this level and terminate on cells of the medullary reticular formation. While the spinothalamic division may retain some somatotopic organization, it is not precise enough to be of clinical significance.
