We found a class of lamina I spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons selectively excited by iontophoretic histamine. The responses of this class of neurons parallel the pure itching sensation this ...

A class of spinothalamic tract neurons is selectively excited by stimuli that cause itch, suggesting that this sensation is mediated by distinct peripheral and central pathways. The best-known ...

The authors further noted, “… there are several neural pathways involved in sensory perception in addition to the anterolateral spinothalamic tract, which our current hASA models. We envision ...

It communicates information from many different physiological systems, like heart rate, using a complex set of neural pathways. 11,12 The spinothalamic tract, vagal sensory nerves, and the nucleus ...
