Actions of opioids on primate spinothalamic tract neurons.
The effects of iontophoretically applied opiates were tested on 24 spinothalamic tract cells in 12 anesthetized monkeys. The drugs used were chosen because of their agonist actions on different classes of opiate receptors (mu, morphine; kappa, dynorphin; delta, methionine enkephalinamide; sigma, N-allylnormetazocine or SKF 10047 and phencyclidine). The actions of the opiate drugs were generally...
متن کاملEffects of iontophoretically released peptides on primate spinothalamic tract cells.
The peptides substance P (SP), methionine-enkephalin (M-ENK), leucine-enkephalin (L-ENK), and cholecystokinin (CCK) were released iontophoretically near spinothalamic tract (STT) cells in anesthetized monkeys and STT-like cells in decorticate, spinalized monkeys. Peptide effects were observed on background discharges, firing induced by release of glutamate, and activity evoked by pinching the s...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary sympathetic input excites primate cuneothalamic neurons: comparison with spinothalamic tract neurons.
Stimulation of cardiopulmonary sympathetic afferent fibers excites thoracic and cervical spinothalamic tract (STT) cells that respond primarily to noxious somatic stimuli. Neurons in dorsal column nuclei respond primarily to innocuous somatic inputs, but noxious stimulation of pelvic viscera activates gracile neurons. The purpose of this study was to compare effects of thoracic visceral input o...
متن کاملComparison of responses of primate spinothalamic tract neurons to pruritic and algogenic stimuli.
We investigated the role of mechanosensitive spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons in mediating 1) the itch evoked by intradermal injection of histamine, 2) the enhanced sense of itch evoked by innocuous stroking (alloknesis), and 3) the enhanced pain evoked by punctate stimulation (hyperalgesia) of the skin surrounding the injection site. Responses to intradermal injections of histamine and capsai...
متن کاملPossible role of protein kinase C in the sensitization of primate spinothalamic tract neurons.
The responsiveness of spinal cord nociceptive neurons to innocuous mechanical stimuli can be increased by the release of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) and peptides attributable to an injury-induced barrage of impulses. This sensitization of spinal dorsal horn neurons can also result from administration of phorbol ester by microdialysis, presumably by direct activation of protein kinase C (PKC)....
