Comparison With Dorsal Spinocerebellar Tract
When the dorsal roots are cut in a cat performing a step cycle, the dorsal spinocerebellar tract has no activity with the loss of peripheral excitation, whereas the ventral spinocerebellar tract continues to show activity, implying that the dorsal spinocerebellar tract carries sensory information to the spinocerebellum through the infererior cerebellar peduncle during movement and the ventral spinocerebellar tract carries internally generated motor information about the movement through the superior cerebellar peduncle.

“I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways....
