Abstract
Splanchnic afferent pathways in the central nervous system were traced by stimulating the splanchnic nerves electrically and recording action potentials in the brain and spinal cord. A pathway consistent with fibers from the pacinian corpuscles was found in the ipsilateral posterior funiculus, and contralateral medial lemniscus and nucleus ventralis postero-lateralis of the thalamus. Slower responses were found in the region of the lateral spinothalamic tracts in the cord and medulla, and in the posterior hypothalamus.Keywords
