Divergent modulation of nociception by glutamatergic and GABAergic neuronal subpopulations in the periaqueductal gray [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) constitutes a major descending pain modulatory system and is a crucial site for opioid-induced analgesia. A number of previous studies have demonstrated that glutamate and GABA play critical opposing roles in
