Spinal cord stimulators specifically block pain by disrupting nerve signals through a tract of fibers called your spinothalamic tract. This tract runs through your spinal cord and connects to a ...

Also described as the spinothalamic tract, this is a long, white matter pathway that extends all the way up the spine to the brain. The spinal cord mediates sensation coming from the skin ...

The latest work, in primates, found that scratching the skin blocks activity of nerve cells in the spinothalamic tract during itchiness - preventing the spinal cord from transmitting signals from the ...

The rostral one expands the spinal cord and has septae within it. A syrinx often first presents with bilateral upper extremity loss of pain and temperature sensation from early involvement of the ...

in the spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons in the spinal cord, which transmit information about pain, temperature and touch to the brain. (Previous studies have shown that STT neurons can be ...
