Diversity in the genus Melilotus for tolerance to salinity and waterlogging
Identifying forage species that are productive in saline environments is an important research priority in many areas of the world affected by salinity. The salt and waterlogging tolerances of 19 species of Melil...

How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body
As humans, we perceive feelings from our bodies that relate our state of well-being, our energy and stress levels, our mood and disposition. How do we have these feelings? What neural processes do they represe...

Spinothalamic lamina I neurons selectively sensitive to histamine: a central neural pathway for itch
We found a class of lamina I spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons selectively excited by iontophoretic histamine. The responses of this class of neurons parallel the pure itching sensation this stimulus elicits i...

Thermosensory activation of insular cortex
Temperature sensation is regarded as a submodality of touch, but evidence suggests involvement of insular cortex rather than parietal somatosensory cortices. Using positron emission tomography (PET), we found ...

Nociceptive and thermoreceptive lamina I neurons are anatomically distinct
Pain and temperature stimuli activate neurons of lamina I within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, and although these neurons can be classified into three basic morphological types and three major physiologi...

Functional imaging of an illusion of pain
TOUCHING warm and cool bars that are spatially interlaced produces a painful burning sensation resembling that caused by intense, noxious cold. We demonstrated previously that this thermal grill illusion can b...

Association of spinal lamina I projections with brainstem catecholamine neurons in the monkey
In addition to giving primary projections to the parabrachial and periaqueductal gray regions, ascending lamina I projections course through and terminate in brainstem regions known to contain catecholaminergi...

Evidence for glutamate as a neurotransmitter in spinothalamic tract terminals in the posterior region of owl monkeys
Previous studies have suggested that glutamate is a neurotransmitter in ascending somatosensory pathways to the thalamus. The present study examined with quantitative immunohistochemical methods the presence o...

A thalamic nucleus specific for pain and temperature sensation
THE existence of a posterolateral thalamic relay nucleus for pain and temperature sensation was postulated in 1911, on the basis of the stroke-induced analgesia and thermanaesthesia found paradox-ically in pat...

Organization of Spinal and Trigeminal Input to the PAG
Many of the functions in which the PAG plays an important role, such as defensive and reproductive behavior, antinociception and cardiovascular regulation (see chapters by, e.g., Bandler and Depaulis; Ogawa et...

The distribution and topographical organization in the thalamus of anterogradely-transported horseradish peroxidase after spinal injections in cat and raccoon
The distribution of anterogradely-transported horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was examined in the rostral mesencephalon and thalamus of cats and raccoons that had received injections of HRP in the cervical and/or...
