Abstract

A spinothalamic tract that courses in the dorsolateral funiculus of the spinal cord and originates almost exclusively from spinal lamina I neurons has been demonstrated in the cat by retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. This tract is of special interest because the course of this predominantly lamina I, contralateral projection lies outside the classical course of the spinothalamic tract and because most lamina I cells contributing to the spinothalamic tract have been shown by other investigators to respond exclusively to somatic noxious stimuli. This newly described tract has important implications in the processing of noxious stimuli.
