Spinal signalling of C-fiber mediated pleasant touch in humans

Spinal signalling of C-fiber mediated pleasant touch in humans

C-tactile afferents form a distinct channel that encodes pleasant tactile stimulation. Prevailing views indicate they project, as with other unmyelinated afferents, in lamina I-spinothalamic pathways. However, we found that spinothalamic ablation in humans, whilst profoundly impairing pain, temperat...
