Stitching brain and spinal cord DTI using cross-correlation registration: toward an atlas of spinal tracts [PDF]

European Radiology Experimental
Background Robust and continuous in vivo differentiation of spinal tracts along the brain–spinal cord axis is limited. We stitched brain and spinal cord diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to create continuity between the brain and cervical spinal cord ...

The human spinothalamic tract: lessons from cordotomy. [PDF]

Brain Commun
Abstract The spinothalamic tract has long been known as a primary conductor of nociceptive information, with its anatomical and physiological understanding evolving over centuries of research. This comprehensive review traces the history of the spinothalamic tract beginning with Brown-Sequard’s 1860 report of contralateral analgesia ...

Cervical Cordotomy in Terminal Cancer: Pain Relieving in Oncological Treatment

Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2021
Cordotomy consists in the discontinuation of the lateral spinothalamic tract (LST) in the anterolateral quadrant of the spinal cord, which aims to reduce the transference of nociceptive information in the dorsal horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord

White matter microstructure predicts measures of clinical symptoms in chronic back pain patients

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2023
Chronic back pain (CBP) has extensive clinical and social implications for its sufferers and is a major source of disability. Chronic pain has previously been shown to have central neural factors underpinning it, including the loss of white matter (WM ...

The crossing of the spinothalamic tract [PDF]

Brain, 2001
The question whether the spinothalamic and spinoreticular fibres cross the cord transversely or diagonally was investigated in cases of anterolateral cordotomy and in a case of thrombosis of the anterior spinal artery. The pattern of sensory loss following transection of the anterolateral quadrant of the cord consists of a narrow area of decreased ...

An atypical pontine infarction presenting with segmental sensory disturbance and uncrossed sensory symptomatology: case report

Heliyon, 2020
We reported a patient who presented with analgesia and thermanaesthesia from the face to T4 dermatome on the contralateral side to the lesion due to infarction of the dorsal tegmentum of the caudal pons, which was inconsistent with classical dorsolateral

History of Spinal Cord “Pain” Pathways Including the Pathways Not Taken

Frontiers in Pain Research, 2022
Traditional medical neuroanatomy/neurobiology textbooks teach that pain is generated by several ascending pathways that course in the anterolateral quadrant of the spinal cord, including the spinothalamic, spinoreticular and spinoparabrachial tracts. The

Abdominal pain due to the spinothalamic tract injury in patients with mild traumatic brain injury: a case report

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background We report on a patient with a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) who developed abdominal pain due to spinothalamic tract (STT) injuries revealed by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).
