Thalamic mechanism of pain: shell theory of thalamic nociception.
In both cats and Japanese macaques, there are nociceptive specific (NS) and wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in the shell region of the caudal ventrobasal (VB) complex of the thalamus. This comprises both the nucleus ventralis posteromedialis proper (VPM proper), and the nucleus ventralis posterolateralis (VPL). These two classes of nociceptive neurons are spatially segregated, WDR neurons bein...

متن کاملRole of the thalamic parafascicular nucleus cholinergic system in the modulation of acute corneal nociception in rats
The present study investigated the effects of microinjections of acetylcholine (a cholinergic agonist), physostigmine (a cholinesterase inhibitor), atropine (an antagonist of muscarinic cholinergic receptors) and hexamethonium (an antagonist of nicotinic cholinergic receptors) into the parafascicular nucleus of thalamus on the acute corneal nociception in rats. Acute corneal nociception was ind...
متن کاملThalamic Pain Misdiagnosed as Cervical Disc Herniation.
Thalamic pain is a primary cause of central post-stroke pain (CPSP). Clinical symptoms vary depending on the location of the infarction and frequently accompany several pain symptoms. Therefore, correct diagnosis and proper examination are not easy. We report a case of CPSP due to a left acute thalamic infarction with central disc protrusion at C5-6. A 45-year-old-male patient experiencing a ti...
