Both thermal and nociceptive afferents influence the unit activity of the neurons in the corpus striatum.
Both thermal and nociceptive stimulation in the periphery were shown to influence the neuronal activity recorded in the striatal area. Both the thermal and nociceptive sensitivity of the striatal neurons were closely related.
