Effects of Electrolytic Lesions of the Ventrolateral Periaqueductal Gray and Nucleus Raphe Magnus on Morphine – Induced Antinociception in the Nucleus Cuneiformi

A B S T R A C TIntroduction: The nucleus cuneiformis (NCF) and ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), two adjacent areas, mediate the central pain modulation and project to the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM). Methods: This study examined whether the antinociceptive effect of morphine microinjected i...
