Paradoxical firing of thalamic neurons under neuropathic pain state in rats.
OBJECTIVES: A novel evaluative approach was used to determine single unit activities of non-bursting intralaminar thalamic nuclei under neuropathic pain state following dorsal rhizotomy.
SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Extensive dorsal rhizotomy at cervicothoracic level in rats was used as a model of central pain. After rhi.....
