Somatotopy of spinal nociceptive processing

Relatively little is known about the spatial organization of spinal nociceptive processing. This study has employed the expression of c‐fos‐like protein as a marker for neuronal activity and has analyzed the patterns of immunoreactivity seen within the rodent spinal cord following noxious mechanical stimulation of various portions of one hindlimb.
