A novel and unique spinal sensory system, the spinosolitary tract-dorsal column postsynaptic neuronal system (SST-DCPS), was physiologically and anatomically identified. The spinal neurons project to both visceral (the solitary tract nucleus) and somatic sensory (the dorsal column nuclei) nuclei via their branched axons and receive both visceral and somatic sensory information ascending from periphery through dichotomized primary afferents and descending from their targets via their branched axons. The brain might thus be aware of both visceral and somatic sensation via a single SST-DCPS neuronal channel. The finding of SST-DCPS system, as an example, might be considered as an intersection or fuzzy set of the SST and DCPS system and the concept of dichotomy in classification of neurons and neuronal pathways展开更多

Fastblus (FB) was injected into subcutaneous tissue in perineum area and nuclear yellow (NY) was injected into subserous lamina of the bladder wall, respectively. FB, NY and FB+NY were mostly found in the spinal ganglions of L6, S1 ans S2 segments. The numbers of FB,NY and FB+NY labeled cells were 146, 186 and 81, in a total of 463 labeled cells and their proportion was 40%, 51% and 9%, respectively. The result indicates that the spinal ganglion neurons dually innervate both the somatic and visceral tissues, and the convergence of somato_visceral sensory pathways might occur in the spinal ganglion cells.展开更多
