In rats anaesthetised with alphaxalone/alphadolone, electrical stimulation in the dorsal periaqueductal grey matter (PAG) evoked a pressor response with tachycardia, vasodilatation in the hindlimb and hyperpnoea: a pattern of response known as the defence reaction. Microinjection of the synaptic exc
Experiments were carried out in urethane-an-anesthetized rats to examine the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on neuronal activity within the dorsolateral sector of the midbrain periaqueductal grey matter (PAG), an area which is rich in NO-synthesizing neurones. NADPH-dependent diaphorase histochemistry
