Pain and temperature stimuli activate neurons of lamina I within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, and although these neurons can be classified into three basic morphological types and three ...

Shaking your hand modifies the pain signals in the spinal cord in the superficial dorsal horn area, which are transmitted by Aδ and C fibers. This area is activated by pain signals, but there are ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that in mice, heat-related and mechanical pain are encoded by different neural ensembles (i.e., groups of neurons) in the spinal cord ...

These thinly myelinated or unmyelinated nerve fibers also extended into caudal segments of the spinal cord (L6, S1) that don't normally receive sensory input from the sciatic nerve. Dorsal horn ...
