Computational functions of neurons and circuits signaling injury: relationship to pain behavior

The basic circuitry of the "pain pathway" mediating transmission of information from the periphery to the brain is well known, consisting of specialized sensory fibers known as nociceptors projecting to specific spinal cord neurons, which in turn project on to the thalamus and cerebral cor...
