  • Title: Peripheral fiber correlates to noxious thermal stimulation in humans.
    Author: Kenton B, Coger R, Crue B, Pinsky J, Friedman Y, Carmon A.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1980 May 01; 17(3):301-6. PubMed ID: 6302587.
    Abstract:
    Minimal conduction velocities of peripheral nerves contributing to acute thermal pain sensation in human volunteer subjects were calculated. Purely thermal stimulation was administered by a low power laser beam directed at the subjects' fingers, and subjective pain responses correlated with a peak in the event-related brain potential (ERBP). These cerebral responses were found to preclude C fiber peripheral activity from this phenomenon.
