Fine afferent fibers from viscera do not terminate in the substantia gelatinosa of the thoracic spinal cord

Abstract:Transganglionic transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been used to study the anatomy of the central projection of somatic and visceral afferent fibers to the thoracic spinal cord of the cat. A dense concentration of somatic afferent fibers and terminals was found in laminae I and II of the dorsal horn and more scattered terminals were present in laminae III, IV and V and in Clarke's column. In contrast, visceral afferent fibers and terminals were found only in lamina I or reaching lamina V via a small bundle of fibers located in the lateral border of the dorsal horn. These results indicate that fine afferent fibers from viscera, unlike those of cutaneous origin, do not project to the substantia gelatinosa (lamina II) of the dorsal horn.
