The '''marginal nucleus of spinal cord''', '''posteromarginal nucleus''', or '''spinal lamina 1''' ([[Rexed lamina]] 1) is located at the most dorsal aspect of the [[posterior grey column]] of the [[spinal cord]].  The [[neuron]]s located here receive input primarily from [[Lissauer's tract]] and relay information related to [[pain]] and [[temperature]] sensation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dafny |first=Nachum |date=2020-10-07 |title=Anatomy of the Spinal Cord |url=https://nba.uth.tmc.edu/neuroscience/s2/chapter03.html |journal=Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy |volume=3 |issue=2 |via=[[University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Almarestani |first1=L. |last2=Waters |first2=S.
