Upon receipt in the dorsal horn (DH) of the spinal cord, nociceptive (pain-signalling)
information from the viscera, skin and other organs is subject to extensive processing by a …

Based on electrophysiological, neurochemical, genetic and neuropharmacological
approaches, it is currently accepted that serotonin (5-HT) functions predominantly to …

The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) has a long association with normal functions such as
motor control, cognition, and reward, as well as a number of syndromes including drug …

Dorsal raphe (DR) serotonin neurons provide a major input to the ventral tegmental area
(VTA). Here, we show that DR serotonin transporter (SERT) neurons establish both …

Movement, the fundamental component of behavior and the principal extrinsic action of the
brain, is produced when skeletal muscles contract and relax in response to patterns of action …

Since their discovery in the mammalian brain, it has been apparent that serotonin (5-HT)
and dopamine (DA) interactions play a key role in normal and abnormal behavior …

Over the past 40 years, much has been learned about the role of serotonin in spinal cord
reflex modulation and locomotor pattern generation. This review presents an historical …

Based on electrophysiological, neurochemical and neuropharmacological approaches, it is
currently accepted that serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) function to promote waking (W) …

The external globus pallidus (GP e) of the basal ganglia is in a unique and powerful position
to influence processing of motor information by virtue of its widespread projections to all …

A characteristic peculiarity of the trigeminal sensory system is the presence of two distinct
populations of primary afferent neurons. Most of their cell bodies are located in the …
