摘要
We have previously shown convergence of craniovascular and tooth pulp afferents in the cervical spinal cord of cats. This study looked for similar convergence in the thalamus. Fifty-four thalamic cells with input from tooth pulp, superior sagittal sinus, or both, were identified. Twenty-nine cells with tooth pub and superior sagittal sinus input were located in the ventrobasal complex or the intralaminar nuclei. Most of these 29 cells were also excited by cooling the contralateral tooth pulp, and 21 had receptive fields on the contralateral face or forelimb. Twenty cells excited by stimulation of superior sagittal sinus, and not tooth pulp, were found in several nuclei. The 5 cells excited by stimulation of tooth pulp, but not sagittal sinus, were restricted to the ventrobasal complex. The data confirm convergence from sagittal sinus, tooth pulp, and skin in the thalamus of anaesthetized cats.
