Supraspinal nocifensive responses of cats: spinal cord pathways, monoamines, and modulation.
These experiments were conducted to determine (1) whether dorsal and ventral ascending spinal pathways can each mediate unlearned supraspinal nocifensive responses of cats to noxious thermal stimuli and (2) whether interrupting the spinal projection of supraspinal monoaminergic neurons alters the excitability and natural modulation of these responses. In partially restrained cats, thermal pulse...
متن کاملSpinal and supraspinal modulation of visceral sensation.
In response to perceived or experienced change, which is considered threatening to the individual, the central nervous system mounts a stereotypic response which decreases the sensitivity to somatic pain, modulates autonomic nervous system outflow, and activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Recent experimental evidence obtained in rats suggests that this response can be associated w...
متن کاملSpinal cord injury pain: spinal and supraspinal mechanisms.
Altered sensations, including pain, are well-documented consequences associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). Although loss of sensory and motor functions at and below the level of injury is commonly thought to affect individuals with SCI most significantly, secondary consequences that include spasticity, bladder and bowel dysfunctions, infertility, and pain rank among the most difficult condi...
متن کاملPlasticity in ascending long propriospinal and descending supraspinal pathways in chronic cervical spinal cord injured rats
The high clinical relevance of models of incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) creates a need to address the spontaneous neuroplasticity that underlies changes in functional activity that occur over time after SCI. There is accumulating evidence supporting long projecting propriospinal neurons as suitable targets for therapeutic intervention after SCI, but focus has remained primarily or...
متن کاملAffective modulation of nociception at spinal and supraspinal levels.
This study was designed to examine the effect of emotion on the nociceptive flexion reflex and pain ratings. To do so, 28 participants viewed pictures varying in emotional valence (unpleasant, neutral, pleasant) and electric stimulations were delivered during and in between pictures. Biceps femoris EMG resulting from the stimulations was used to quantify the nociceptive flexion reflex (spinal n...
