Key points In the dorsal raphe nucleus, it is known that serotonin release activates
metabotropic 5‐HT1A autoreceptors located on serotonin neurons that leads to an inhibition …

Our previous studies have indicated that the thalamic nucleus submedius (Sm) is involved in
modulation of nociception as part of an ascending component of an endogenous analgesic …

The postictal state is generally followed by antinociception. It is known that connections
between the dorsal raphe nucleus, the periaqueductal gray matter, and the locus coeruleus …

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and ligands selective for particular 5-HT receptor
subtypes on the transmission of nociceptive information in the spinal cord are complex. In …

Abstract We have studied 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) release in the hippocampal formation
following electrical stimulation of the dorsal and median raphé nuclei in the behaving rat …

In order to investigate the effects of monoaminergic mechanisms of the dorsal raphe nucleus
on the elaboration and control of sweet-substance-induced antinociception, male albino …

Three types of spontaneously active neurons were found in the parafascicularis (PF)
nucleus of the thalamus of the rat: slow firing units (0.5–10 spikes/s), bursting units (2–5 …

The purpose of the present study was to characterize the synaptic currents induced by bath-
applied serotonin (5-HT) in 5-HT cells of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and to determine …

We studied electrophysiological properties, synaptic transmission and modulation by 5‐
hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) of caudal raphe neurons using whole‐cell recording in a neonatal …

The rostroventromedial medulla (RVM) is an important source of descending modulatory
systems that both inhibit and facilitate pain at the level of the spinal cord. Noxious stimuli can …
