For instance, neuraxial administration of opioids results in analgesia primarily by action in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in the substantia gelatinosa where they inhibit release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as substance P and glutamate and inhibit afferent neural transmission to the brain from incoming peripheral painneurons via hyperpolarization of postsynaptic neurons.

According to the gate-control theory proposed by Melzack and Wall [ 2 ] in 1965, the substaintia gelatinosa (SG) neurons or lamina II of the spinal cord are demonstrated as a fundamental section in regulation of nociceptive inputs from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS). (kjpp.net)
The actions of norepinephrine (50 microm) on glutamatergic transmission were examined by using the whole cell patch clamp technique in substantia gelatinosaneurons of an adult rat spinal cord slice with an attached dorsal root. (silverchair.com)
Norepinephrine did not affect the amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic current and of a response of substantia gelatinosaneurons to AMPA, indicating that its action on evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents is presynaptic in origin. (silverchair.com)
Nociceptive information is transmitted through thinly myelinated Aδ-afferent and unmyelinated C-afferent fibers from the periphery to the spinal cord, especially substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons, 5,6 where the information is modulated. (silverchair.com)
Norepinephrine facilitates inhibitory transmission in substantia gelatinosa of adult rat spinal cord (part 2): effects on somatodendritic sites of GABAergic neurons. (cornell.edu)
Only 5% of neurons in the substantia gelatinosa transmit signals to the brain-95% are responsible for sensation modification and inhibition, so that stronger signals in arriving to the dorsal horn inhibit weaker ones. (justia.com)
Spinal cord3
The apex of the posterior grey column, one of the three grey columns of the spinal cord, is capped by a V-shaped or crescentic mass of translucent, gelatinous neuroglia, termed the substantia gelatinosa of Rolando (or SGR) (or gelatinous substance of posterior horn of spinal cord), which contains both neuroglia cells, and small nerve cells.

Interneurons1
Lamina II, also called the substantia gelatinosa, contains many interneurons and is believed to play a major role in processing and modulating nociceptive input from cutaneous nociceptors. (brainkart.com)
Dorsal2
The afferent input from these fibers inhibits propagation of nociception carried in the small, unmyelinated C fibers by blocking transmission along these fibers to the target or T cells located in the substantia gelatinosa (laminae 2 and 3) of the dorsal horn. (medscape.com)

Note also the following points − postero-lateral sulcus, antero-median fissure, the anterior, lateral and posterior white columns, the grey and white commissures, and the substantia gelatinosa (of Rolando) at the tips of the posterior horns. (ox.ac.uk)
Inhibitory1
This could contribute to at least a part of inhibitory modulation of pain sensation in the substantia gelatinosa by intrathecally administered norepinephrine. (silverchair.com)
Trigeminal1
The substantia gelatinosa (SG) of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) is the first relay site for the orofacial nociceptive inputs via the thin myelinated Aδ and unmyelinated C primary afferent fibers. (kjpp.net)
Fibers1
However, some A delta fibers (carrying fast, localized pain sensation) also terminate in the substantia gelatinosa, mostly via axons passing through this area to the nucleus proprius. (wikipedia.org)
