The electrophysiological experiments reported here show that these neurons innervate skin near the dorsal and ventral midlines.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Three series of experiments were undertaken: (1) the regions of skin supplied by subdivisions of thoracic nerves were mapped by recording from the subdivisions while mechanically stimulating the skin; (2) subdivisions containing the axons of contralaterally projecting sensory neurons were identified by antidromic activation from the contralateral dorsal horn; (3) the receptive fields of individual sensory neurons and dorsal horn neurons were characterized by single\u2010unit recording methods.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contralaterally projecting sensory neurons had axons in subdivisions of the thoracic nerves that supply skin adjacent to the body midlines. Their receptive fields were located near the dorsal or ventral midline but did not extend onto the contralateral side of the body. Most of the neurons were slowly adapting \u201ctype I\u201d units supplying touch domes. Dorsal horn neurons receiving input from contralateral sensory neurons had receptive fields that overlapped the dorsal or ventral midline. This bilateral representation of skin near the midlines may be important for the fusion of the sensory maps of the right and left sides of the body.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902450409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T19:57:46Z","timestamp":1104609466000},"page":"541-552","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Sensory neurons supplying touch domes near the body midlines project bilaterally in the thoracic spinal cord of rats"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"245","author":[{"given":"Carolyn L.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00236234"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00235904"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4471-1305-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.1975.38.1.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"827","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.1973.36.5.827","article-title":"Functional organization of cat's dorsal horn: Spontaneous activity and central cell response to single impulses in single Type I fibers","volume":"36","author":"Brown P.
