Lamina II contains a large number of interneurons involved in modulation and transmission
of somatosensory (including nociceptive) information. However, its neuronal circuitry is
poorly understood due to the difficulty of identifying functional populations of interneurons.
This information is important for understanding nociceptive processing and for identifying
changes that underlie chronic pain. In this study, we compared morphology,
neurotransmitter content, electrophysiological and pharmacological properties for 61 lamina …
