Cortical Regulation of Nociception of the Trigeminal Nucleus Caudalis

Abstract: Pain perception is strongly influenced by descending pathways from "higher" brain centers that regulate the activity of spinal circuits. In addition to the extensively studied descending system originating from the medulla, the neocortex provides dense anatomical projections that directly target neurons in the spinal cord and the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (SpVc). Evidence exists that these corticotrigeminal pathways may modulate the processing of nociceptive inputs by SpVc, and regulate pain perceptio… Show more

“…The trigeminal complex receives descending projections from various sensory cortical regions, including the somatosensory, primary auditory, and primary visual cortices [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. In addition to these sensory cortices, other cortical regions, such as the motor and peduncular cortical neurons, also send their axons to the Sp5C [45,52].…”

“…Projections from the facial region in S1 to the Sp5C principally target the marginal zone (lamina I) and substantia gelatinosa (lamina II) [41,44,45,51] but also target laminae III-V [47,56]. In addition to the rostrocaudal somatotopic organization of the trigeminal complex, there is somatotopy in the Sp5C corresponding to the region in S1 [49]: regions in S1 responding to stimulation of the lingual nerve, mental nerve, infraorbital nerve, and frontal nerve are rostrocaudally arranged in S1, and each S1 region projects to the most medial superficial layer, medial deep layer, middle superficial and deep layer, and lateral deep layer in Sp5C, respectively.…”

“…Light-mediated manipulation of G protein subunits of ChR2 and NpHR proteins can activate or inhibit the receptors of injured neurons. The sequencing of the RNA can promote novel research targeting such protein chains able to control the pain with optogenetic tools [46].…”
