The cells of origin of the primate spinothalamic tract

Abstract: Spinothalamic tract cells in the lumbar, sacral and caudal segments of the primate spinal cord were labelled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injected into the thalamus. The laminar distribution of stained spinothalamic cells in the lumbosacral enlargement differed according to whether the HRP was injected into the lateral or the medial thalamus. Lateral injections labelled cells in most laminae, but the largest numbers of cells were in laminae I and V. The highest concentrations of … Show more

“…This latter hypothesis implies a bilateral thalamic projection of spinothalamic fibers, which, although scarce, has been substantiated (Willis et al, 1979;Apkarian and Hodge, 1989). The important delay observed between the early and late pMCC responses suggests that the latter should depend on a much slower conducting system, but the hypothesis of a dependence on C-fiber activation is incompatible with its latency (Mouraux et al, 2004).…”

“…It has now been established through the use of anatomical and physiological techniques that Rexed's (1952) lamina I is one of the major locations of long distance projection neurons in the spinal and medullary dorsal horns (e.g., Price and Dubner, 1977;Gobel et al, 1981;Hockfield and Gobel, 1978;Willis et al, 1979 for reviews). Most lamina I neurons receive nociceptive inputs from primary neurons with small caliber axons which conduct in the C and A6 ranges (Christensen and Perl, 1970;Kumazawa and Perl, 1978;Light et al, 1979;Bennett et , 1981).…”

“…Therefore, changes in the properties of these neurons may occur in neuropathic pain states and may be important for the triggering and/or maintenance of the pain-related condition. These lamina I neurons project mainly to the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPb; Bernard et al, 1995;Cechetto et al, 1985;Craig, 1995;Feil and Herbert, 1995;Wiberg and Blomqvist, 1984) and to the thalamus (Carstens and Trevino, 1978;Craig and Burton, 1981;Giesler et al, 1979Giesler et al, , 1981Willis et al, 1979). Lamina I neurons were originally classified into four types in the rat, independently of being projection or local circuit neurons Coimbra, 1983, 1986).…”
