Dual retrograde axonal tracers, Fluoro-Gold (FG) and true blue (TB), were used in conjunction with [ 3 H]thymidine autoradiography to determine the number and neurogenic pattern of neurons with supraspinal projections in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH), i.e., laminae I and II, in spinal segment L1

## Abstract Using Golgiβstained serial sections obtained at the sacroβcaudal levels of the cat spinal cord, it was possible to reconstruct the trajectory of primary afferents. They were classified into two groups: reliable primary afferents directly traced from the dorsal root and probable primary
The total neuron population of the superficial dorsal horn (SDH), i.e., laminae I and II, was quantitated in Nissl preparations of spinal segment L1 in the rat. Subpopulations of the SDH, defined by axon projection, were quantitated following strategic intraspinal injections of dual retrograde trace
The different subdivisions along the mediolateral extent of the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord are generally regarded as identical structures that execute the function of sensory information processing without any significant communication with other regions of the spinal gray matter. In
