"Named after Karl Friedrich Burdach (1776-1847), German anatomist 1"
"First-order neurones from peripheral receptors enter the spinal cord via the posterior roots, and unlike first-order neurones from the spinothalamic tract, do not synapse in the posterior posterior grey horn of the cord 1. Thus, these first-order neurones form the cuneate fasciculus of the dorsal columns if input was from between and including C1 and T6 1. If input is from T7 or below, the gracile fasciculus is formed instead, which is discussed separately."
