The aim of this study was to further understand the central processing of inputs arising from
unmyelinated and myelinated nociceptors by (i) determining the response characteristics of …

Descending control of spinal nociception is a major determinant of normal and chronic pain.
Myelinated (A-fibre) and unmyelinated (C-fibre) nociceptors convey different qualities of the …

1. To examine further the ability of different classes of nociceptive and nonnociceptive
primary afferent neurons to induce c-fos expression in central neurons, fos-like …

1. Discharges of lumbar dorsal horn neurons were evoked by noxious radiant skin heating,
and inhibition of the heat-evoked responses by stimulation of the mesencephalic …

The periaqueductal grey can differentially control A‐vs. C‐nociceptor‐evoked spinal reflexes
and deep spinal dorsal horn neuronal responses. However, little is known about the control …

The descending inhibition of spinal neuronal responses by focal electrical stimulation in the
periaqueductal gray (PAG) or nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) was quantitatively studied and …

Inhibition of spinal dorsal horn neuronal responses to noxious (50° C) skin heating by
stimulation of the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) was quantitatively investigated in cats …

Several lines of evidence suggest that different classes of nociceptive afferents mediate the
responses produced by different rates of noxious skin heating. More specifically, low skin …

1. The descending inhibition of neuronal responses by focal electrical stimulation or
glutamate microinjections in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) or rostral ventromedial medulla …

In rats anaesthetized with alphaxalone/alphadolone a comparative study was made of the
inhibitory effects on dorsal horn neurones evoked by chemical stimulation at identified …
