the subarachnoid space is continuous, meaning that it encloses the brain as well as the spinal cord within one continuous compartment. some medications injected in the spinal fluid can have effects in the brain- for instance, intrathecal morphine is known to have an effect on the brain as it redistributes up the spinal fluid column and blocks opiate receptors in the brain itself. that's what's meant by supraspinal analgesia.
