Supraspinal inhibition of spinal neurones responding to nociceptive stimulation
Neuroscience Letters
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
A study of the tonic descending inhibition present on neurones of laminase IV and V in the lumbar spinal cord of anaesthetized cats has been made employing reversible blocking of the spinal cord by cooling. The results suggest that neurones of both laminase are subject to a similar degree of inhibitory control and imply that they are equally important to the spinal transmission of noxious input.
