Supraspinal inhibition of trigeminal input into subnucleus caudalis by dorsal column stimulation
Abstract:
In decorticate-decerebellate cats with cervical spinal cuts which isolated the dorsal columns (DCs), conditioning volleys travelling in the DCs inhibited activities of trigeminal caudalis neurons. This inhibition was most likely mediated through a brainstem loop and was particularly effective on nociceptive-driven neurons.

Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...
