Pathways involved in thalamic ventrobasal stimulation for pain relief: evidence against the hypothesis VB stimulation -> rostroventral medulla excitation -> dorsal horn inhibition
Despite its use for a long time, the way thalamic ventrobasal (VB) stimulation acts to produce pain relief is still unknown. One of the most accepted hypotheses, sponsored by Tsubokawa among others, proposes that VB stimulation excites raphespinal and reticulospinal neurons of the rostroventral medu...
