Q

Wide Dynamic Range Neurons (WDR)

A
  • spinal segmentation is fiction because the spinal cord is continuous
  • Convergence: Dermatome, Myotome, Sclerotome
  • Primary Afferents release inflammatory polypeptides locally resulting in increased Self-stimulation
  • WDR: Interneurons = root of “facilitated segments”
