Somatovisceral interactions in the rat dorsal column nuclei
Recent studies have revealed that noxious visceral inputs travel in the dorsal column pathway, and interactions between colorectal noxious and tactile inputs occur in the ventrobasal thalamus. This investigation was to test whether the somatovisceral interactions also take place in the dorsal column nuclei (DCN). Forty-five single DCN neurons of anesthetized rats responsive to colorectal disten...

متن کاملLarge-scale reorganization of the somatosensory cortex following spinal cord injuries is due to brainstem plasticity.
Adult mammalian brains undergo reorganization following deafferentations due to peripheral nerve, cortical or spinal cord injuries. The largest extent of cortical reorganization is seen in area 3b of the somatosensory cortex of monkeys with chronic transection of the dorsal roots or dorsal columns of the spinal cord. These injuries cause expansion of intact face inputs into the deafferented han...
متن کاملProgressive transneuronal changes in the brainstem and thalamus after long-term dorsal rhizotomies in adult macaque monkeys.
This study deals with a potential brainstem and thalamic substrate for the extensive reorganization of somatosensory cortical maps that occurs after chronic, large-scale loss of peripheral input. Transneuronal atrophy occurred in neurons of the dorsal column (DCN) and ventral posterior lateral thalamic (VPL) nuclei in monkeys subjected to cervical and upper thoracic dorsal rhizotomies for 13-21...
متن کاملInteraction of converging peripheral and cerebellar cortical inputs on interpositus neurons of the cat.
Anesthetized and immobilized cats were used. The interval between the peripheral (conditioning) and the cortical (testing) stimulation equalled the latency of the response to effective peripheral input. Efferent nuclear neurons were identified by antidromic stimulations from contralateral brainstem nuclei. Various sequences of excitation and inhibition of different duration were induced by peri...
