Abstract
In the present study, the differences in number and distribution of retrogradely labeled lamina I cells in each segment of the cat spinal cord (C1-Coc2) were determined after large wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) injections in either PBN, PAG or thalamus. We estimate that approximately 6000 lamina I cells project to PBN, 3000 to PAG and less than 1500 to the thalamus. Of the lamina I cells projecting to thalamus or PAG more than 80%, and of the lamina I-PBN cells approximately 60%, were located on the contralateral side. In all cases, most labeled lamina I cells were found in the upper two cervical segments and in the cervical and lumbar enlargements.
