Study Notes
Pain Transmission in the Spinal Cord
- Nociceptive axons synapse with second-order neurons in lamina I, II, and V of the dorsal horn in the spinal cord
- Transmission of moderate pain involves the release of glutamate by axons
- Transmission of stronger pain involves the release of both glutamate and substance P (and ATP) by axons
- The action of glutamate is fast
- The action of substance P (and ATP) is slower and more sustained
