The role of central serotonin 3 receptors on neural activities recorded from superficial
laminae of trigeminal subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical spinal cord junction region was …

The nucleus submedius in the medial thalamus has been known to receive spinothalamic
and trigeminothalamic fibers, and to contain neurons which can be activated by noxious …

Several studies have shown that the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) is involved in
descending inhibitory pathways that control noxious inputs to the spinal cord and that it may …

This study examined whether the antinociception produced by electrical stimulation of
medullary raphe nuclei is mediated by activation of monoaminergic neurons projecting to …

The role of oxytocin (OXT) in pain modulation has been suggested. Indeed, hypothalamic
paraventricular nuclei (PVN) electrical stimuli reduce the nociceptive neuronal activity (ie …

Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) plays a multifaceted role in the regulation of nociceptive
transmission. Complexity arises from actions at multiple sites within the pain transmission …

This study examined the distribution of serotoninergic (5‐HT) immunoreactive axonal
contacts on spinal laminae I and II neurons by combining the intracellular horseradish …

To study the role played by 5-HT mechanisms of the MRN, behavioural and physiological
parameters were presently measured in rats having either electrolytic or 5, 7 …

Neurons in the pontomedullary raphe magnus (RM) and adjacent nucleus reticularis
paragigantocellularis pars α (NRPGα) are thought to participate in the modulation of spinal …

A wealth of pharmacological and behavioral data suggests that spinally projecting
serotonergic cells mediate opioid analgesia. A population of medullary neurons, located …
