1. Synaptic organization of nociceptive relay nuclei in the cat and primate thalamus
Abstract : The fine structure of two thalamic nociceptive relay nuclei, the nucleus submedius (Sm) in the cat, and the posterior region in the owl monkey, was investigated using anatomical tract tracing techniques, immunohistochemical staining for neuroactive substances, and threedimensional reconstructions of synaptic circuitry. Ascending lamina I axons, labeled by anterograde transport of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin, gave rise to two different types of termination in Sm: large, compact clusters of numerous boutons were predominant in the dense focus of the terminal field after a tracer injection at the site of nociceptive-specific neurons in lamina I, and boutons-of-passage type terminations were conspicuous in the periphery of a lamina I terminal field in Sm and predominant following a tracer injection at the site of thermoreceptive-specific neurons in lamina I.
