Where does the Pacinian Corpuscle send information to?

This may sound like a silly question, but I know that it creates a generator potential, which in turn causes impulses to be sent away, but where are the impulses sent to? The brain?

Thanks :biggrin:

I think they get sent to the CNS. Maybe it would depend on if it was a reflex (then just the spinal cord) or not (then both spinal cord and brain).
