Scope note: Neuronas situadas en el ASTA POSTERIOR DE LA MÉDULA ESPINAL cuyas prolongaciones y cuerpos celulares pertenecen totalmente al SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL. Reciben terminaciones colaterales o directas de las fibras de la raíz posterior. Asimismo, envían sus axones directamente a las CÉLULAS DEL ASTA ANTERIOR o a las fibras longitudinales ascendentes o descendentes de la SUSTANCIA BLANCA.

Scope note: Neurons in the SPINAL CORD DORSAL HORN whose cell bodies and processes are confined entirely to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. They receive collateral or direct terminations of dorsal root fibers. They send their axons either directly to ANTERIOR HORN CELLS or to the WHITE MATTER ascending and descending longitudinal fibers.
