Observations on the synaptology of intracellularly injected spinothalamic tract neurons in the cat [PDF]
Single spinothalamic tract cells in the deep lumbar group have been injected with horseradish peroxidase and their dendritic trees examined on the electron microscope. Large dendrites are surrounded by rosettes of from 5 to 12 synaptic terminals.

Conduction velocity of the human spinothalamic tract as assessed by laser evoked potentials [PDF]
To study the conduction velocity of the spinothalamic tract (STT) we delivered CO2 laser pulses, evoking pinprick sensations, to the skin overlying the vertebral spinous processes at different spinal levels from C5 to T10 and recorded evoked potentials ...

The cornucopia of central disinhibition pain – An evaluation of past and novel concepts
Central disinhibition (CD), as applied to pain, decreases thresholds of endogenous systems. This provokes onset of spontaneous or evoked pain in an individual beyond the ability of the nervous system to inhibit pain resulting from a disease or tissue ...

Effects of iontophoretically released peptides on primate spinothalamic tract cells [PDF]
The peptides substance P (SP), methionine-enkephalin (M-ENK), leucine- enkephalin (L-ENK), and cholecystokinin (CCK) were released iontophoretically near spinothalamic tract (STT) cells in anesthetized monkeys and STT-like cells in decorticate ...

Background Central pain, characterized by neuropathic pain, can manifest due to injury to the superior spinothalamic tract. The brainstem includes sensory and motor pathways as well as nuclei of the cranial nerves, and therefore cancer metastasis in the ...

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Segmental and laminar organization of the spinothalamic neurons in Cat: Evidence for at least five separate clusters [PDF]
The spinothalamic tract (STT), well known for its role in the relay of information about noxe, temperature, and crude touch, is usually associated with projections from lamina I, but spinothalamic neurons in other laminae have also been reported. In cat,

NaV1.7 mRNA and Protein Expression in Resident Neurons of the Human Spinal Dorsal Horn
We identified Nav1.7 mRNA and protein in human spinal cord neurons, a subset of which co‐expressed putative projection neuron markers, TACR1 and GPR83. These neurons relay nociceptive signals from the periphery to the brain. While Nav1.7 loss‐of‐function mutations cause congenital insensitivity to pain, traditionally linked to sensory neurons, our ...

Intrapericardiac injections of algogenic chemicals excite primate C1-C2 spinothalamic tract neurons [PDF]
Extracellular potentials of 38 C1-C2 spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons in anesthetized monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis) were examined for responses to intrapericardiac injections of an algogenic chemical mixture (adenosine, 10−3 M; bradykinin ...
