9 Rexed s Laminar Scheme (applied to rat spinal cord) Rexed based his based on cytoarchitecture In the original study (Cat) Rexed equated lamina II with the SG.
10 Differences in staining patterns of these two markers have lead to the assumption that IB4 positive non-peptidergic C-fibers project to the inner part of lamina II and peptidergic fibers project to laminae I and II outer. This has lead to the belief that IB4 binding is a marker for the inner part of lamina II.

19 Major point of emphasis It is clear that both myelinated and unmyelinated afferent fibres that respond to noxious stimulation in the periphery project predominantly to the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn. However, it is also clear that myelinated and unmyelinated fibres that signal the presence of innocuous mechanical and thermal stimuli also project to these same laminae. Therefore, the anatomical substrate of pain information processing cannot be easily distinguished from substrates involved in other functions such as homeostasis. Interestingly, recent reports suggest that while there is significant overlap in the projections of fibers signaling different stimulus intensities, at least some degree of functional segregation exists at the postsynaptic level in the superficial laminae.
20 Development of Superficial Dorsal Horn Pediatric Pain premature human infants = neonatal rodents Plasticity does response to injury recapitulate development? In rodents the superficial dorsal horn is still in a developmental state at birth. Early postnatal development P0-P14 or P21 Neurons are hyperexcitable. They have large cutaneous receptive fields. Excitatory inputs predominately from A-fiber inputs. Weak inhibitory inputs both from spinal origins and from descending inhibitory (e.g. 5-HT).

26 What are some of the possible mechanisms for this hyperexcitability?

29 The nervous system contains 3 basic types of neurons 1) Sensory neurons 2) Motor neurons 3) Interneurons In the spinal dorsal horn the cells (interneurons) are divided into two main groups based on the projections of their axons. Projection (Tract) neurons - axons project over many segments some terminate outside the spinal cord. Local spinal interneurons axons project over short distances usually remaining within the same spinal segment or one or two segments rostral or caudal Local spinal interneurons are divided into two groups: 1) excitatory; 2) inhibitory

34 X Sub-P CGRP
35 Under some circumstances primary afferent depolarization can be sufficient to elicit action potentials in the terminals. These centrally generated action potentials propagate back through the dorsal roots (dorsal root reflex) into the periphery and can result in release of peptides.
36 Information processing in the dorsal horn allows us to discriminate many qualities peripheral stimuli. Modality - Thermal, Mechanical, Chemical segregation and convergence Innocuous (pleasant) slow brush cells or menthol; Noxious (painful) Localization Depending on modality or tissue type this can be very precise or very imprecise. How do we localize a stimulus? A sample of receptive fields of afferent fibers in adjacent dorsal roots shows significant overlap in the area of skin represented. In the dorsal horn this this Discontinuous Dermatomal Representation converted to a Continuous Somatotopic Representation (map) of the body surface. Tactile acuity is directly proportional to area of neuropil devoted to body region which is directly proportional to innervation density. This principals are the same throughout the neuraxis.

41 Lamina V - Willis 1981
42 There is a great deal of debate about which types of dorsal horn cells adequately encode noxious stimuli. Some suggest that it is the nociceptive specific (HT) cells, while others suggest that WDR cells are equally efficient in coding pain information leading to the perception of pain.

47 Example of intracellular recording from a lamina I - HT neuron in the cat. Single stimuli produce sub-threshold excitatory post synaptic potentials (epsps). When pairs of stimuli are applied the faster (sub-threshold - low threshold) inputs show depression of their evoked response while the slower high threshold inputs exhibit facilitation evoking action potentials.

62 Studies have documented both preand postsynaptic mechanisms for the effects of μ-opioid receptors on laminae I and II neurons. The postsynaptic hyperpolarization is caused by the activation of a G protein coupled, inward-rectifying potassium channel. The observed presynaptic effect is a decrease in spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), presumably mediated by a decrease in free intracellular calcium in presynaptic terminals. In addition, there are some cells in the superficial dorsal horn that are apparently excited by opioids. For example at least one study has suggested that lamina I cells responding to innocuous cooling are depolarized following activation of this receptor. Light and Willcockson, 99

73 Correlation between morphology and function of cells found in the superficial dorsal horn Over the past years a large number of studies have documented cell types found in the superficial dorsal horn. Recently, in series of studies by Ed Perl colleagues have attempted to take these types of studies a step further. These are examples of lamina I cells (A) projections neurons and (B) local interneurons. (Grudt and Perl, 02)
74 Examples of different cell types found in lamina II. (A) islet cells, (B) radial cells, (C) central cells, (D) medial-lateral cells and (E) vertical cells. (Grudt and Perl, 02) Unfortunately not all cells fall neatly into this or any other classification scheme.
