Projection Neuron Axon Collaterals in the Dorsal Horn: Placing a New Player in Spinal Cord Pain Processing
The pain experience depends on the relay of nociceptive signals from the spinal cord dorsal horn to higher brain centers. This function is ultimately achieved by the output of a small population of highly specialized neurons called projection neurons (PNs). Like output neurons in other central nervo...
