Abstract
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord receives afferent input from innocuous primary afferent neurons via collaterals from the dorsal columns. This input is integrated and relayed primarily by neurons in laminae III-VI. Dorsal horn neurons which encode innocuous inputs project to the medulla and the cervical spinal cord via the dorsal columns and the dorsolateral funiculus. Nociceptive primary afferent neurons enter the spinal dorsal horn via collaterals from Lissauer's tract. Nociceptive input is integrated and relayed by neurons in laminae I, II and V which project to the reticular formation and thalamus via the anterolateral tract.
