Stimulation of the somatosensory system is more likely to evoke pain in patients with chronic pain after nervous system injury than in patients without somatosensory abnormalities. We now describe results of stimulation through a microelectrode at microampere thresholds (threshold microstimulation;
The role of the region of the principal somatic sensory nucleus of the human thalamus (ventral caudal -Vc) in signaling painful sensations is unclear. We have now studied the response of cells (n ฯญ 57) in this region to both thermal and mechanical stimuli graded into the painful range during surgeri
