Structural Bases of the Noxious Stimulation Information Trnsmitting and Modulating and Distributions of Amino Acid Receptors in Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis
The trigeminal subnucleus caudalis plays an important role in processing and relaying nociceptive information from face and oral cavity to thalamus and other brain regions. Stimulation of the nucleus raphe mag-nus can inhibit the neuronal responses to facial noxious stimulation in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc). Both classical neurotransmitters and
amino acid transmitters participate in controls of nociceptive information. However, morphological details of the connections between primary ...
