The post-ictal immobility syndrome is followed by a significant increase in the nociceptive
thresholds in animals and humans. The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of …

Pharmacological studies have been focused on the involvement of different neural pathways
in the organization of antinociception that follows tonic-clonic seizures, including 5 …

The post-ictal immobility syndrome is followed by a significant increase in the nociceptive
thresholds in animals and men. In this interesting post-ictal behavioral response …

The role of the acetylcholine-mediated system in the organization of postictal antinociception
was investigated. For this purpose, nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonists …

Microinjections of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) in the midbrain tectum structures
produce panic attack-like defensive behaviours, followed by an antinociceptive response. It …

It has been established that chemical stimulation of the inferior colliculus (IC) of laboratory
animals evokes fear-related defensive responses, which are considered panic attack-like …

The electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral columns of the periaquedutal grey matter
(dlPAG) or deep layers of the superior colliculus (dlSC) evokes defensive behaviours …

Decrease of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission in the dorsomedial
hypothalamus (DMH) evokes instinctive fear-like responses. The aim of the present study …

The periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) consists in a brainstem structure rich in 5‐
hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) inputs related to the modulation of pain. The involvement of each …

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) projects serotonergic axons throughout the brain and is
involved in a variety of physiological functions. However, it also includes a large population …
