A hypothesis on the functional significance of the dendritic projections of spinothalamic tract cells to the white matter of the cat spinal cord [PDF]
, 1983 Deep, lumbar, spinothalamic tract cells have fine distal dendrites which project to, and receive synaptic connections within, the ventral (VF) and/or lateral funiculi (LF). The projection to the LF is inversely related (P < 0.05) to the projection of the

Tracking the neurodegenerative gradient after spinal cord injury
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020 Objective: To quantify neurodegenerative changes along the cervical spinal cord rostral to a spinal cord injury (SCI) by means of quantitative MRI (qMRI) and to determine its relationship with clinical impairment. Methods: Thirty chronic SCI patients (15

Intra-epidermal electrically evoked potentials are sensitive to detect degenerative cervical myelopathy suggesting their spinothalamic propagation [PDF]
OBJECTIVE Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a centromedullary spinal cord disorder mainly affecting crossing fibers. While contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) are sensitive in detecting DCM by testing spinothalamic integrity, somatosensory ...

Pruritus in Autoimmune Demyelinating Diseases of the Central Nervous System: A Review
AllergiesPruritus (itching) is an underrecognized but often debilitating symptom in patients with central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Effects of iontophoretically released amino acids and amines on primate spinothalamic tract cells [PDF]
, 1984 The effects of glutamate (Glu), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine (Gly), serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and acetylcholine (ACh) were examined in this study by iontophoretic application onto primate spinothalamic tract (STT ...

Comparative Study of Viscerosomatic Input Onto Postsynaptic Dorsal Column and Spinothalamic Tract Neurons in the Primate [PDF]
, 1999 The purpose of the present investigation was to examine, in the primate, the role of the postsynaptic dorsal column (PSDC) system and that of the spinothalamic tract (STT) in viscerosensory processing by comparing the responses of neurons in these ...

Spinothalamic tract neurons in laminae I, III and IV of the rat: a retrograde neuronal tracing study [PDF]
, 2009 Ascending pathways in the spinal cord are very important in transmitting sensory information from the periphery to the higher brain centres. The spinothalamic tract represents an important component of these ascending pathways, and it has been ...

Position of Spinothalamic Tract Axons in Upper Cervical Spinal Cord of Monkeys [PDF]
, 2000 Percutaneous upper cervical cordotomy continues to be performed on patients suffering from several types of severe chronic pain. It is believed that the operation is effective because it cuts the spinothalamic tract (STT), a primary pathway carrying ...

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Pupil dilation is mediated by a sympathetic output acting in opposition to parasympathetically mediated pupil constriction. While light stimulates the parasympathetic output, giving rise to the light reflex, it can both inhibit and stimulate the ...
