posterior horn
The posterior horn, also known as the dorsal horn, is a region within the spinal cord that receives and processes sensory information from the body such as temperature, pressure, and pain. It is one of the major components of the central nervous system involved in receiving and transmitting sensory information to other parts of the brain. This area is densely packed with neurons and works as the primary relay point for synaptic connections between peripheral sensory neurons and the central nervous system.
