Uberon definition : The pronounced, dorsolaterally oriented ridge of grey matter in each lateral half
of the spinal cord[MP]. the dorsal (more towards the back) grey matter of the spinal
cord. It receives several types of sensory information from the body, including light
touch, proprioception, and vibration. This information is sent from receptors of the
skin, bones, and joints through sensory neurons whose cell bodies lie in the dorsal
root ganglion[WP]. The dorsal region of the mature spinal cord contains neurons that
process and relay sensory input[GO].;
