| Research Abstract |
Intracellular recordings were made from lamina I neurons which were identified by antidromic action potentials evoked by focal stimulation near the central canal. Stimulation of the dorsal root elicited a fast EPSP in the majority of neurons and repetitive stimulation evoked a slow EPSP in 20% of lamina I neurons. The latter neurons were depolarized by application of substance P and antagonized by a NK1 receptor antagonist, suggesting that the lamina I neurons receive substance P containing C afferent fibers which could modulate the nociceptive transmission in the lamina I.
