<P> Proprioception of the head stems from the muscles innervated by the trigeminal nerve, where the GSA fibers pass without synapsing in the Gasserian ganglion (first - order sensory neuron), reaching the mesencephalic tract and the mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve . </P> <P> Although it was known that finger kinesthesia relies on skin sensation, recent research has found that kinesthesia - based haptic perception relies strongly on the forces experienced during touch .
