Modulation of sympathetic and somatomotor function by the ventromedial medulla.

abstract：:1. Two hundred and twenty-one spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons in the lumbar spinal cord of anesthetized monkeys were studied. The majority of the recordings were in laminae IV-VI. Thirteen of these neurons were intracellularly injected with horseradish peroxidase and histologically reconstructed. 2. A standard serie...
