Response characteristics of nucleus submedius neurons to colo-rectal distension in the rat

K Kawakita, E Sumiya, K Murase, K Okada - Neuroscience research, 1997 - Elsevier
The effects of colorectal distension (CRD) were examined on neurons located in and around
the nucleus submedius (Sm) in the medial thalamus of urethane-anesthetized rats. A total of
66 units (49 in the Sm and 17 in immediately surrounding regions) responding to cutaneous
pinch were tested to examine their responsiveness to the CRD. All the neurons that
responded to cutaneous stimulation were nociceptive specific (NS) neurons. Based on their
responses to the CRD the Sm neurons were classified into three types as follows: 23 (47%) …
