To investigate the possible mechanisms by which neurons in the caudate–putamen (CPu)
and globus pallidus (GP) participate in pain and nociception, the present study …

1. To better characterize temporal and spatial mechanisms involved in the coding of
prolonged nociceptive stimuli in the spinal cord, the responses of dorsal horn wide dynamic …

The activity of primary somatosensory (SI) cortical nociceptive neurons was recorded while
the monkeys performed a psychophysical task in which they detected small increases in skin …

Supraspinal brain regions modify nociceptive signals in response to various stressors
including stimuli that elevate pain thresholds. The medulla oblongata has previously been …

Radiant heat is often used to study nociception in vivo. We now used infrared radiation
generated by a diode laser stimulator (wavelength 980nm) to investigate transduction …

In the previous two papers (10, 13) we described some properties of nociceptive neurons
that transmit information about noxious heat stimuli. These neurons have receptive fields …

1. The goal of this study was to quantitatively characterize the response properties of
somatosensory and multisensory neurons in cortical area 7b (or PF) of monkeys that were …

Neurons of the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) have been implicated in the modulation
of nociceptive transmission. In order to further analyze their role in pain behavior, we studied …

Primary pain and touch sensory neurons not only detect internal and external sensory
stimuli, but also receive inputs from other neurons. However, the neuronal derived inputs for …

Radiant heat is often used for studying thermal nociception, although inherent
characteristics such as the broad spectrum of applied wavelengths of typical light sources …
