The goal of this monograph is to provide an overview of current
thought about spinal cord mechanisms for sensory processing. We
hope that the book will be useful both to basic neuroscientists and
to clinicians. So me historical aspects of the problem and a few
definitions are treated in the first chapter. The second chapter
reviews the organiza tion of the peripheral nervous system from the
standpoint of sensory receptors and primary afferent axons. The
third chapter is concerned with what is known about the structure
of the dorsal horn, while the fourth chapter considers the activity
of dorsal horn interneurons. The clinical, behavioral, and
neurophysiological evidence for what parts of the cord white matter
contain particular sensory pathways is discussed in Chapter 5, and
details about the various pathways in the dorsal columns, the
dorsolateral fasciculus, and the ventral quadrant form the .
subject matter of Chapters 6 through 8. The final chapter is an
attempt to summarize what is presently known about the receptors
and the spinal cord pathways responsible for the sensations of
touch-pressure, flutter-vibration, pain, temperature, position
sense and visceral sensa tion and about descending control
systems."
