Case Reports in Neurology, 2012 We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman with signs and symptoms suggesting cauda equina syndrome. Lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated no lesion at this level, while cervical MRI showed a T2-hyperintense lesion in the middle ...

Organization and receptive fields of primate spinothalamic tract neurons [PDF]
, 1975 A technique is described for recording from axons belonging to the spinothalamic tract of the monkey. The axons arose from cell bodies located within the spinal cord since the latency of orthodromic activation by afferents within the dorsal funiculus ...

Assessment of spinothalamic tract function beyond pinprick in spinal cord lesions: a contact heat evoked potential study [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Although a mainstay of clinical sensory examination after damage in the spinal cord, pinprick sensation represents only one afferent modality conveyed in the spinothalamic tract.

Responses of primate spinothalamic tract neurons to electrical stimulation of hindlimb peripheral nerves [PDF]
, 1975 The responses of spinothalamic tract neurons were studied by extra- and intracellular recordings from the lumbosacral spinal cord in anesthetized rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).

A Rare Case of Subependymoma with an Atypical Presentation: A Case Report
Case Reports in Neurology, 2011 A rare case of subependymoma in a young patient presenting with sensory dysesthesia is reported. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a posterior fossa mass occluding the fourth ventricle with infiltration to the right side ...

How Many Spinothalamic Tract Cells Are There? A Retrograde Tracing Study In Cat [PDF]
, 2004 The spinothalamic tract, well known for its role in nociception, is the most frequently studied ascending pathway originating from the spinal cord. It is known that spinothalamic neurons are located in all segments of the spinal cord, but in most mammals

Excitation of primate spinothalamic neurons by cutaneous C-fiber volleys [PDF]
, 1979 1. The responses of spinothalamic tract cells in the lumbosacral spinal cords of anesthetized monkeys were examined following electrical stimulation of the sural nerve or the application of noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli to the skin on the ...

Static and dynamic responses of spinothalamic tract neurons to mechanical stimuli [PDF]
, 1975 The activity of primate spinothalamic tract neurons was investigated. Units were identified by antidromic activation from the diencephalon. Most had a spontaneous discharge.

Spinal signalling of C-fiber mediated pleasant touch in humans
eLife, 2019 C-tactile afferents form a distinct channel that encodes pleasant tactile stimulation. Prevailing views indicate they project, as with other unmyelinated afferents, in lamina I-spinothalamic pathways.
