TLDR
In a sample of 1700 neurons recorded from the dorsal column nuclei of the cat, 44 (2.6%) were found to send an axon down the dorsal spinal cord, which probably comprises an important subset that regulates the flow of sensory information in spinal and brainstem somatic sensory pathways.About:

Primary motor cortex influences on the descending and ascending systems
TL;DR: The review makes special emphasis in the available evidence pointing to the role of the motor cortex in co-ordinating the activities of both descending and ascending pathways related to somatomotor integration and control.

Output systems of the dorsal column nuclei in the cat.
TL;DR: The present study used single and double light microscopic retrograde tracing strategies in the cat to characterize the location and morphology of DCN neurons that project to different portions of the diencephalon, rostral mesencephalon and spinal cord.

TL;DR: These findings from independent left- and right-hand experiments suggest the presence of an emerging trend of contralateral lateralization of the somatosensory system at around term.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the dorsal column nuclei may contribute to a feedback mechanism regulating the flow of sensory information ascending along other somatosensory spinal pathways.

Influence of the Cerebral Cortex on the Cuneate Nucleus of the Monkey
TL;DR: Nurones excited from one region of cortex are similarly excited from other cortical regions, ipsilateral and contralateral; the same rule holds for inhibition.

TL;DR: It is argued that in the intact, behaving animal these disparate sensory influences onto cerebral m neurons function to modulate the excitability of these neurons, their effective driving input arriving via the local sa (small-field) neurons that reside in layers II and III.
