Abstract
► Afferents are specialized to detect various modalities and intensities of stimulation. ► Signals carried by different types of primary afferents converge in the spinal cord. ► Central convergence enables combinatorial coding of co-activated inputs. ► Spinal output signals may thus encode complex rather than elemental stimulus features.
