<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his
spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his
lemniscus pathway. </span>
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).
Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).
Answer:
1st field: linguistic intelligence
2nd field: visual-spatial intelligence
3rd field: bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
Explanation:
There is a theory called multiple intelligence theory, which suggests that there are several types of intelligence differently proportionally distributed in every person. One of them is linguistic intelligence. Persons who possess it are extraordinary at using and understanding words, written or spoken. On the other hand, persons with visual-spatial intelligence show ability to memorize images, faces, details, also, they're aware of their surroundings and find it easy to orient in new and unknown spaces. Also, there is a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. People who possess it have great motor abilities, especially fine movements, muscle coordination, body shape and strength which makes them great in using their body movements for expressing ideas, opinions, emotions.
