Nociceptive inputs to brainstem pain-modulating neurons
No full textThe brain regulates nociceptive processing through descending projections from the brainstem to the spinal and trigeminal dorsal horns. This is accomplished through endogenous pain-modulating circuits that can amplify or suppress pain-related signals, and normally maintain a balance between facilitation and inhibition of pain. The output of this pain-modulating system, via the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) has been extensively studied. This work describes direct and indirect pain transmission pathways from the trigeminal dorsal horn to the RVM
Interview with Robert Bacon, Ph.D.
Get PDFRobert L. Bacon was a Professor Emeritus of Anatomy at Oregon Health & Science University from 1955 to 1982. Bacon earned a Bachelor of Science from Hamilton College in 1940 and a Ph.D. in Anatomy from Yale University in 1944. After completing his studies, Bacon began teaching, first at Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University before settling at the University of Oregon Medical School (now known as OHSU) in 1955. His career as a professor focused on teaching over research and administrative work, having won the Dr. Alan J. Hill Award for Excellence in Teaching seven times. Notably, Bacon never accepted a position as chair of the Department of Anatomy during his nearly thirty year tenure at the University.
In this interview, Bacon discusses his education and career in teaching. He additionally shares details on the changing internal structure of OHSU, including its split from the University of Oregon, the marine anatomy research he conducted, and his decision to turn down a position as head of the Department of Anatomy
