Cutaneous nociceptive afferents to the cerebellum. A) Spino-pontocerebellar path. Stimulation of C fiber nociceptors activates mossy fibers that project to the cerebellum through an unknown pathway. B) Spino-olivocerebellar path. C fiber nociceptors convey neural input through the post-synaptic dorsal column (PSDC) in the spinal cord to the inferior olive to activate climbing fibers that project to the cerebellum. A-delta fiber nociceptors stimulation activates climbing fibers through an unknown pathway.
