title: Physiological properties of sensory neurons of the interstitial nucleus in the spinal trigeminal tract.
abstract: Neurons were recorded from the interstitial nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract. They were all nociceptive specific and some projected to the parabrachial area. These data suggest that this nucleus can be regarded as a rostral extension of lamina I of trigeminal subnucleus caudalis.
