A neural pathway, neural tract, or neural face, connects one part of the nervous system with another via a bundle of axons, the long fibers of neurons.A neural pathway that serves to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system is usually a bundle of neurons, known collectively as white matter.or example, motor neurons, which travel from the spinal cord to the muscle, can have axons up to a meter in length in humans; the longest axon in the human body is almost two meters long in tall individuals and runs from the great toe to the medulla oblongata of the brainstem.
The central nervous system relies on pathways and higher order functions to transfer information to various parts of the brain, giving the body sensory and motor ability. There is a constant interaction going on between the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).Pathways are either ascending (sensory) or descending (motor) and contain tracts and nuclei, where signals from one neuron to another creates a synapse.hey are in the skin, joints, muscles and viscera (Noback 155). Sensory systems transmit information regarding intensity. Receptors of pain are called nociceptors. Each of the pathways involve a chain of neurons named accordingly, a first order neuron is a neuron that delivers directly to the CNS or its cell body.
