Description. The spinal cord is divided into the dorsal horn-upper part, and the ventral horn-lower half. The dorsal horn receives input from sensory fibers in green. It sends input through interneurons, in pink, to spinothalamic tract cells, in blue. These cells are important for transmitting pain and temperature signals to the brain for perception of pain. The background shows action potentials which transmit electrical signals between neurons.
