1. Recordings were made from neurons in the left medullary subnucleus reticularis dorsalis
(SRD) of anesthetized rats. Two populations of neurons were recorded: neurons with total …

The responses of single lumbar dorsal horn units to noxious radiant heating (50 degrees C,
10 s) of glabrous foot pad skin were recorded in cats anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a study examining the origin and projections of a
spinal nociceptive and thermoreceptive pathway. In this study, injections of 0.2 to 3.0 μl of 30 …

Neurons in layers I and IV–VII of L7 and S1 were studied in unanesthetized spinal cats.
Each cell was characterized in terms of its responses to electrical stimulation of cutaneous A …

To define the role of the nucleus gigantocellularis (NGC) of the bulbar reticular formation in
the pain process, modifications of the firing rate of NGC cells were studied after nociceptive …

The lateral reticular nucleus (LRN) has been identified as an area in the caudal medulla
involved in the centrifugal modulation of spinal nociceptive transmission and withdrawal …

It was recently shown that repeated heat stimulation, using brief contacts (< 1 s) with a
preheated thermode at sufficiently short interstimulus intervals (ISIs< 5 s) and high …

1. Recordings were made in anesthetized monkeys from neurons in the medullary reticular
formation (MRF) caudal to the obex. Responses of 19 MRF neurons to mechanical, thermal …

The actions of L-glutamate and agonists, agents blocking their membrane receptors and
dorsal root afferent volleys, were compared on intracellularly recorded neuronal activity in …

In order to further characterize the role of lamina I as the source of central ascending neural
pathways for thermoreception and thermoregulation, experiments were performed on …
