摘要

This study was designed to determine the organization of nociceptive inputs with different behavioral significance into spinal-brainstem circuits in the rat. Induction of Fos protein was used to localize spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamic neurons activated by noxious heating of the hind paw dorsum at rates known to preferentially activate C- or A-heat nociceptors. This was combined with retrograde transport of cholera toxin subunit B from the dorsolateral/lateral- (DL/L-) or the ventrolateral- (VL-) periaqueductal gray (PAG) in order to map the organization of A- and C-fiber input to spinal-brainstem circuits. The majority of dorsal horn heat-activated neurons were located in laminae I and II. A significantly larger proportion of C-fiber-activated neurons projected to the VL-PAG (P<0.05) compared with its DL/L-sector. In contrast, there was no columnar separation in the projections of A-fiber-activated neurons. However, a significantly greater proportion of A-fiber-activated neurons (P<0.05) were retrogradely labeled from the DL/L-PAG, when compared with C-fiber-activated neurons. A large proportion (25-50%) of A- and C-fiber-activated neurons in the lateral spinal nucleus projected to the PAG. A-fiber-activated neurons were found throughout the rostral hypothalamus but those projecting to the PAG were focused in the lateral area of the anterior hypothalamus (LAAH), from where approximately 20% projected to the VL-PAG, which was significantly more than to the DL/L PAG (P<0.05). We hypothesize that the organization of A- versus C-fiber inputs to the PAG enables the coordination of coping strategies appropriate to meet the demands imposed by these different noxious stimuli. Hypothalamic-PAG projections activated by A-fiber inputs did not reflect this level of organization and we suggest that this may relate to their role in thermoregulation as opposed to autonomic responses to particular nociceptive inputs.
