Spinothalamic Tract Microstructure as a Common Neural Substrate of Pain Sensitivity Across Modalities: A Combined Brain-Spinal Cord Diffusion Imaging Study

2026-01-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The spinothalamic tract (STT) is the principal ascending pathway for nociceptive transmission and a key integrative hub for pain. However, whether inter‑individual microstructural variability constitutes a shared neuroanatomical basis for cross‑modal pain sensitivity remains unclear, partly due to limitations in tract‑level imaging along the brain-spinal axis. We applied a combined brai...
