{"Image DocumentName": "The NSTT has been described as the sensory discriminative pathway of pain.", "Image ImageDescription": "The PSTT is located more medially, but still is in the anterolateral portion of the white matter of the spinal cord. The PSTT receives input predominately from the C fibers. These synapse with the nociceptive-specific neurons and the WDR neurons in Laminae I & V. 2nd order neurons of Laminae I & V cross over the spinal cord and project to the reticular formation (RF) A diffuse network of cells and fibers located in the brain stem. Influences alertness, waking, sleeping, and certain reflexes. The RF is located in the central portion of the brain stem, medulla oblongata, hypothalamus, thalamus, limbic system, and periaqueductal gray (PAG).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
