Effects of Noxious Hindpaw Immersion on Evoked and Spontaneous Firing of Contralateral Convergent Dorsal Horn Neurons in Both Intact and Spinalized Rats
Abstract
The effects of immersing a hindpaw in 60 degrees C water for 15 s on spontaneous and pinch-evoked activity recorded from 77 convergent neurons in the contralateral lumbar enlargement were examined. Cells were recorded from intact rats anesthetized with either ketamine or pentobarbital, or in rats that were decerebrated-intact or decerebrated-spinalized to determine if the heterotopic modulation was altered under these different conditions. In …
