Electrical stimulation at many sites within the pretectal complex and adjacent structures of
the rat dorsomedial thalamus yields antinociception. It is documented that no other site in …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Our previous studies have indicated that the thalamic nucleus submedius (Sm) is involved in

Electric stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) has been effective in suppressing pain-
related responses in neuropathic as well as healthy control animals. We studied whether the …

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 …

Aims The anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) and electroacupuncture (EA) activate
descending mechanisms to modulate nociceptive inputs in the spinal dorsal horn. This study …

Several lines of evidence have shown that stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) can
induce antinociception. It has been indicated that hypothalamic orexinergic neurons send …

Previous studies have indicated that the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) is implicated in
pathways that descend through the dorsolateral funiculus (DLF) to modulate nociceptive …
