Neurokinin 1 receptor expression by neurons in laminae I, III and IV of the rat spinal dorsal horn that project to the brainstem

Todd, Andrew J., McGill, Margaret M., Shehab, Safa A. S.·2000·European Journal of Neuroscience

Abstract

Large neurons in laminae III and IV of the spinal cord which express the neurokinin 1 receptor and have dendrites that enter the superficial laminae are a major target for substance P (SP)‐containing (nociceptive) primary afferents. Although some of these neurons project to the thalamus, we know little about other possible projection targets. The main aim of this study was to determine whether all cells of this type are projection neurons and to provide information about brainstem sites to which they project. Injections of cholera toxin B subunit were made into four brainstem areas that receive input from the spinal cord, and the proportion of cells of this type in the L4 spinal segment that were retrogradely labelled was determined in each case. The results suggest that most of these cells (>90%) project to the contralateral lateral reticular nucleus (or to a nearby region), while many (>60%) send axons to the lateral parabrachial area and some to the dorsal part of the caudal medulla. However, few of these cells project to the periaqueductal grey matter. As lamina I neurons with the neurokinin 1 receptor appear to be important in the generation of hyperalgesia, we also examined projection neurons in this lamina and found that for each injection site the great majority possessed the receptor. These results demonstrate that dorsal horn neurons which express the neurokinin 1 receptor contribute to several ascending pathways that are thought to be important in pain mechanisms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
