This study evaluated Fos-like immunoreactivity in lumbar spinal cord neurons following intense cold stimulation and then the modifications induced by opioid administration. Under urethane anaesthesia, the rat's right foot was stimulated by holding it in a regulated temperature bath at 15, 10, 0, -10, -15, -17.5 or -20 degrees C. There was no or little Fos-like immunoreactivity in lumbar spinal cord neurons when the paw was at temperatures between 15 and -10 degrees C (0-5 Fos-like immunoreactive neurons/section). The threshold to induce consistent c-Jos expression was -15 C. From -15 to -20 degrees C the number of Fos-like immunoreactive neurons increased with decreases in temperature. At -20 degrees C, Fos-like immunoreactive neurons were numerous in L3 and L4 segments, in laminae I-II(approximate to 60 Fos-like immunoreactive neurons/section) and to a lesser extent in laminae V-VI (approximate to 20). Almost no Fos-like immunoreactivity was present in laminae III-IV (
