The peripheral neurons of the spinal cord are the located in the intervertebral foramen. A peripheral projection as an axon with a dendrite on its termination. This dendrite interacts with supporting cells and connective tissue to form the receptor. This axon passes by the cell soma without entering the soma but is connected by a small projection of the soma. The central projection enters the spinal cord for distribution to synapse on cell groups that reflect the receptor at it’s periphery.

• The targets are brainstem nuclei for special touch, joint position and vibration, to gelatinosa and nucleus proprius for pain, to Clarkes column for cerebellar sensory inputs and nucleus proprius for double crossed cerebellar input.
