[HTML][HTML] Neural correlates of the antinociceptive effects of stimulating the anterior pretectal nucleus in rats

K Genaro, WA Prado - The Journal of Pain, 2016 - Elsevier

[HTML][HTML] The antinociceptive effect of anterior pretectal nucleus stimulation is mediated by distinct neurotransmitter mechanisms in descending pain pathways

K Genaro, D Fabris, WA Prado - Brain Research Bulletin, 2019 - Elsevier
Electrical stimulation of the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) activates two descending pain
inhibitory pathways. One of these pathways relays in the ipsilateral lateral …

Antinociception induced by stimulating the anterior pretectal nucleus in two models of pain in rats

CF Villarreal, VAV Kina… - Clinical and experimental …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This study examined whether different parts of the rat anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) may
be involved in the spinal control of brief (tail flick test) or persistent (surgical incision of the …

Pharmacological and neuroanatomical evidence for the involvement of the anterior pretectal nucleus in the antinociception induced by stimulation of the dorsal raphe …

MLNM Rosa, MA Oliveira, RB Valente, NC Coimbra… - Pain, 1998 - Elsevier
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 …

The antinociception evoked by anterior pretectal nucleus stimulation is partially dependent upon ventrolateral medullary neurones

MG Terenzi, H Rees, SJS Morgan, GA Foster… - Pain, 1991 - Elsevier
Electrical stimulation (35 μA rms/15 s) of the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) inhibits the
spinal reflex of the tail-flick (TF) to noxious heat in unanaesthetised rats. APtN stimulation …

[HTML][HTML] Stimulation-produced analgesia from the occipital or retrosplenial cortex of rats involves serotonergic and opioid mechanisms in the anterior pretectal nucleus

GM Reis, AC Rossaneis, JWS Silveira, QM Dias… - The Journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
The electrical stimulation of the occipital (OC) or retrosplenial (RSC) cortex produces
antinociception in the rat tail-flick test. These cortices send inputs to the anterior pretectal …

The anterior pretectal nucleus participates as a relay station in the glutamate-, but not morphine-induced antinociception from the dorsal raphe nucleus in rats

WA Prado, FA Faganello - Pain, 2000 - Elsevier
The anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) and the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) are involved in
descending pathways that control noxious inputs to the spinal cord and participate in the …

Role of the deep mesencephalic nucleus in the antinociception induced by stimulation of the anterior pretectal nucleus in rats

XM Wang, B Yuan, Z Hou - Brain research, 1992 - Elsevier
The present study showed that the inhibitory effect on the tail-flick reflex (TF) of stimulating
the deep mesencephalic nucleus (DpMe) was very similar to that produced by stimulation of …

Participation of brainstem nuclei in the pronociceptive effect of lesion or neural block of the anterior pretectal nucleus in a rat model of incisional pain

CF Villarreal, VAV Kina, WA Prado - Neuropharmacology, 2004 - Elsevier
The anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) participates in nociceptive process and controls spinal
nociceptive inputs, and its integrity reduces the severity of the responses to persistent injury …
