Trigeminal Aδ- and C-afferent supply of lamina I neurons in the trigeminocervical complex

AbstractNociceptive trigeminal afferents innervating craniofacial area, eg, facial skin and cranial meninges, project to a broad region in the medullary and upper cervical dorsal horn designated as the trigeminocervical complex. Lamina I neurons in the trigeminocervical complex integrate and relay p
