Abstract:
:The possible pain inhibitory effects of periaqueductal gray (PAG) stimulation were investigated in cats anesthetized with Nembutal and immobilized with Flaxedil. Unitary responses evoked by electrical stimulation of the upper canine dentine and by cutaneous facial noxious and nonnoxious stimuli were recorded extracellularly from the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis. A bipolar electrode was introduced into the PAG to test the effects of PAG excitation on the trigeminal response to dentine (TRED) and cutaneous nonnoxious stimulation. In some experiments, a similar electrode was lowered into the contralateral posterior thalamus to study the antidromic activation of subnucleus caudalis cells and the effects of thalamic stimulation on the TRED. Dentine stimulation evoked brief (6- to 15-ms) bursts of 1 to 10 spikes with 3- to 25-ms latencies. Most units (88%) were also activated by cutaneous facial stimulation. Stimulation of the posterior thalamus had no effect on the TRED or on responses to cutaneous stimulation, but activated antidromically 10% of the units. In 71% of the units PAG stimulation inhibited the TRED. In some of those cases (12%), the inhibitory effect persisted 30- to 60 s. The PAG stimulation could produce paradoxical effects, potentiating the TRED evoked by threshold intensity and inhibiting the TRED elicited by suprathreshold stimulation. About one-half the PAG points evoked detectable effects. Their location had no clear topographical distribution, although ventral sites were more potent than dorsal sites. Responses evoked by nonnoxious facial stimulation were also inhibited by the PAG.
