What is Neospinothalamic?
What is Neospinothalamic? The neospinothalamic tract conducts fast pain (via A delta fibers) and provides information of the exact location of the noxious stimulus, and the multisynaptic paleospinothalamic and archispinothalamic tracts conduct slow pain (via C fibers), a pain which is poorly localized in nature. ( What is the difference between the Neospinothalamic tract and the Paleospinothalamic tract? The axons of these specific nociceptive neurons combine to form the neospinothalamic tract. The axons of the non-specific nociceptive neurons form the paleospinothalamic tract, which is of earlier evolutionary origin than the neospinothalamic tract formed by the specific neurons described earlier.
