Conceptual model of sensory, motivational, and central control determinants of pain. Output of T (transmission) cells of gate control system projects to sensory‐discriminative system and motivational‐affective system. Central control trigger is represented by line running from large‐fiber system to central control processes; these, in turn, project back to gate control system and to sensory‐discriminative and motivational‐affective systems. All 3 systems interact and project to motor system.

Schematic illustration of different peptide systems in spinal cord of rat. At least 4 different types of neurons can be recognized. 1: Peptide neurons descend from brain, terminating in various parts of gray matter. Dotted lines, hypothetical projection. 2: Primary sensory neurons, with cell bodies in spinal ganglia, terminate in dorsal horn. 3: Local spinal interneurons or propriospinal neurons, with cell bodies in dorsal horn or in other parts of gray matter (not shown), terminate in dorsal horn. 4: Neurons in sympathetic lateral column (or in parasympathetic intermediolateral column) project out from spinal cord to periphery. Note that coexistence of peptides with classic transmitters, such as catecholamines and 5‐HT, is not indicated here. Abbreviations denote peptide against which antiserum was raised: ANG II, angiotensin II; APP, avian pancreatic polypeptide; CCK, cholecystokinin; ENK, enkephalin; NT, neurotensin; SOM, somatostatin; SP, substance P; TRH, thyrotropin‐releasing hormone; VIP, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide.

Spinothalamic tract cell in primate with wide‐dynamic‐range receptive field. Cell was located in lateral portion of neck of dorsal horn (A). Receptive field included area sensitive to low‐intensity mechanical stimuli (black area in B), surrounded by area requiring higher‐intensity stimuli (hatched area). Cell was excited by hair movement (C), pressure (D), and pinch (E). Pinch was most effective stimulus. Temperature changes from 35°C to 50°C (F) and from 20°C to 10°C (G) excited cell. Lower traces in F and G are records of temperature at thermode‐skin interface. Time scale applies to C‐G.

Diagram of neural systems important in pain and pain modulation. Small‐diameter nociceptive afferents (S) and larger‐diameter nonnociceptive fibers (L) activate spinal mechanisms leading to generation of impulses ascending to higher centers. Neurons in ventrobasal thalamus [ventralis posterolateralis shown here (VPL)] receive input from fibers of dorsal column‐medial lemniscal system 1 and from that portion of ventrolateral spinal cord 2 forming spinothalamic tract. Projection of these neurons to somatosensory (som sens) cortex provides basis for discriminative aspects of somesthesis, possibly including pain. Other fibers ascending from ventrolateral spinal cord 3 send projections into brain stem reticular formation (RF) and to medial thalamus. Ascending reticular formation fibers also project to medial thalamus and hypothalamus (hyp), where they may influence limbic forebrain mechanisms subserving motivational and affective components of pain. Both discriminative and motivational‐affective systems are modulated by descending pathways 3 acting at thalamic, brain stem, and spinal levels.

Several structures are indicated, each of which probably exerts control of spinal nociceptors: NRM; nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis (Rgc); nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis pars α (Rgc α); nucleus reticularis magnocellularis (Rmc); probable rat analog, nucleus reticularis paragigantocellularis (Rpg); and more lateral nucleus reticularis paragigantocellularis lateralis (Rpgl). Serotonin‐containing neurons are found in NRM and in Rpgl but not in Rmc or Rpg.

Schematic diagram illustrating hypothesized (enkephalinergic) control mechanism of neurons in substantia gelatinosa over multimodal neurons involved in somatosensory perception. Small bipolar (enkephalinergic) neuron impinges together with afferent large‐ and small‐diameter fibers on dendrites of laminae 4 and 5 cells carrying opiate receptors (dots). Inhibitory interneurons (IN) have postulated to make C‐fiber input to bipolar neurons inhibitory (see ref. 836). Descending pathways can act directly, e.g., via noradrenergic, dopaminergic, or serotonergic pathways, on neurons of spinothalamic system (L4 and L5) or via enkephalinergic neurons in substantia gelatinosa (only this part of descending influence would be sensitive to opiate antagonist naloxone). Presynaptic contact is marked with question mark. +, ‐ Represent excitatory and inhibitory influences. SOM indicates possibility of primary afferent inhibition by somatostatin. This inhibitory‐acting neuropeptide was demonstrated in primary afferent small‐caliber fibers (see ref. 335).
