"Tactile" stimulus intensity: information transmission by relay neurons in different trigeminal nuclei

I Darian-Smith et al. Science. .

Abstract

Comparison of the information transmitted about the intensity of a steady "tactile" stimulus applied to facial skin by single trigemino-thalamic neurons in nucleus oralis and nucleus caudalis indicates that little information loss occurs at the medial lemniscal synaptic relay (nucleus oralis), but that it is gross within the nucleus caudalis.
