Our previous findings have indicated that the ventrolateral orbital cortex (VLO) may be involved in modulation of nociception and plays an important role as a higher center of an endogenous analgesic system (a feedback loop) consisting of spinal cord-nucleus submedius (Sm)-VLO-periaqueductal gray (PAG)-spinal cord. To further investigate the neurotransmitter mechanism involved in this nociceptive...
The present study found in lightly anesthetized rats that the radiant heat-evoked tail flick (TF) reflex was markedly inhibited by a unilateral electrical stimulation (a 20 ms train of 0.2 ms, 100 Hz, 30–100 μA pulses) of the ventrolateral orbital cortex (VLO), with the tail flick latency (TFL) being increased. The mean threshold of VLO stimulation for producing inhibition of the TF reflex was 39...
This study in lightly anesthetized rats found that unilateral electrical stimulation delivered to the ventral part of the thalamic nucleus submedius (Sm), the thalamic reuniens nucleus (Re) and the hypothalamic dorsal area (DA) markedly depressed the TF reflex, and this inhibitory effect increased following increasing stimulation intensity. Stimulation in the dorsal part of Sm did not produce any...
