The role of the thalamus in modulating pain.
The thalamus is one of the structures that receives projections from multiple ascending pain pathways. The structure is not merely a relay centre but is involved in processing nociceptive information before transmitting the information to various parts of the cortex. The thalamic nuclei are involved in the sensory discriminative and affective motivational components of pain. Generally each grou...
متن کاملReduced GABAergic transmission in the ventrobasal thalamus contributes to thermal hyperalgesia in chronic inflammatory pain
The ventrobasal (VB) thalamus is innervated by GABAergic afferents from the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) and participates in nociception. But how the TRN-VB pathway regulates pain is not fully understood. In the present study, we reported decreased extracellular GABA levels in the VB of rats with CFA-induced chronic inflammatory pain, measured by microdialysis with HPLC analysis. In vitro w...

متن کاملPathological activity in mediodorsal thalamus of rats with spinal cord injury pain.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results not only in motor deficits, but produces, in many patients, excruciating chronic pain (SCI pain). We have previously shown, in a rodent model, that SCI causes suppression of activity in the GABAergic nucleus, the zona incerta (ZI), and concomitant increased activity in one of its main targets, the posterior nucleus of the thalamus (PO); the increased PO activity...
متن کاملErratum: Reduced GABAergic transmission in the ventrobasal thalamus contributes to thermal hyperalgesia in chronic inflammatory pain
This Article contains errors in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. In Figure 1, n = 7 was omitted from panel C. In Figure 2, labels are missing from the bars of panel B. In Figure 3, ‘Control’ was incorrectly given as ‘Sham’, labels are missing from the bars in Figure 3B and C, and n = 7 and n = 9 were omitted from Figure 3E. In Figure 4, labels are missing from the bars. In Figure 5B, labels a...
