Both oral and caudal parts of the spinal trigeminal nucleus project to the somatosensory thalamus in the rat

Recent evidence has been accumulated that not only spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Sp5C) neurons but also spinal trigeminal nucleus oralis (Sp5O) neurons respond to noxious stimuli. It is unknown, however, whether Sp5O neurons project to supratrigeminal structures implicated in the sensory proce...
