REPORT

Lamina I, but not Lamina V, Spinothalamic Neurons Exhibit Responses That Correspond With Burning Pain

A. D. Craig

Atkinson Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona 85013

Submitted 15 April 2004; accepted in final form 21 May 2004

Single-unit recordings from monkey spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons reveal that the responses of polymodal nociceptive lamina I STT neurons correspond with the profile of burning pain elicited in human subjects by repeated brief-contact heat. In contrast, lamina V wide-dynamic-range (WDR) neurons show a significantly different response pattern. This finding indicates that burning pain is signaled by modality-selective lamina I neurons and not convergent lamina V WDR neurons.
