Neurones in the medullary raphe nuclei attenuate the cardiovascular responses evoked from the dorsolateral periaqueductal grey matter.

Abstract:

:In rats anaesthetised with alphaxalone/alphadolone, electrical stimulation in the dorsolateral part of the periaqueductal grey matter (PAG; 10 s trains of 1 ms pulses at 80 Hz, 40-80 microA) evoked a pressor response accompanied by tachycardia. Both components of the response were attenuated following microinjection of 200 nl 0.1 M D,L-homocysteic acid into the caudal pole of the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM; n = 12) and into the nucleus raphe obscurus (NRO; n = 22) to selectively activate neuronal perikarya. Microinjection of 200 nl 165 mM NaCl into the same region (n = 15) had no effect. The attenuation of the midbrain-evoked cardiovascular responses lasted for 10-20 min and was independent of changes in resting blood pressure and heart rate. The maximum reduction in the pressor component of the midbrain-evoked responses was similar following stimulation in NRM (-35.4%) and NRO (-36.7%). However, the reduction in the midbrain-evoked tachycardia was greater following stimulation in NRM (-62.8%) compared to NRO (-27.2%). These results indicate that neurones in NRM and NRO may be involved in modulating the level of excitability of the midbrain defence area in the PAG and/or its efferent pathway.
