Identification of nociceptive neurons in the medial thalamus: morphological studies of nociceptive neurons with intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase.

Abstract:

:Somatosensory neurons including nociceptive ones in the medial thalamus have been studied extracellularly, and are classified into three types: nociceptive-specific, wide dynamic range, and tap neurons. However, the morphological characteristics of these three neurons have not yet been clarified. We studied the morphological characteristics of the neurons by iontophoretic injection of HRP into single neurons in 32 cats. Nine wide dynamic range neurons and two tap neurons were electrophysiologically identified and successfully stained with HRP in and around the parafascicular and subparafascicular nuclei, and in the mediodorsal nucleus. All nine wide dynamic range neurons had fewer dendrites which formed scanter tufts, whereas the two tap neurons had many more dendrites which formed denser tufts: i.e. wide dynamic range neurons were of the isodendritic type, and the tap neurons were of the allodendritic type, according to Ramón-Moliner's classification. The axons of the two tap neurons ran antero-laterally whereas those of wide dynamic range neurons ran in many directions. These morphological differences suggest that tap neurons may have more specialized and fixed functions than wide dynamic range neurons.
