Pain sensation by nociceptors which are stimulated by mediators such as histamine, bradykinin ATP, and protons 2. Afferent neurons carry signal from peripheral tissues to the dorsal horn of the spinal column (this is part of the peripheral nervous system) 3. In the dorsal horn, neurons synapse with second order neurones which cross to the contralateral side of the spinal cord and ascends in the spinothalamic tract. Synapse with third order neurones in the thalamus. 4. Third order neurones run from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex where pain is perceived. Signals also run from the thalamus to the prefrontal cortex (for motor response) and limbic system (for emotional experience).Clinical Anatomy 20 Which of these statements is correct?
