The Role of The Rostral Ventromedial Medulla in Stress Responses
Brain Sciences, 2023 The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a brainstem structure critical for the descending pain modulation system involved in both pain facilitation and inhibition through its projection to the spinal cord. Since the RVM is well connected with pain- and

Frontiers in Pain Research, 2022 The sensory experience of pain depends not only on the transmission of noxious information (nociception), but on the state of the body in a biological, psychological, and social milieu.

Neurobiology of Pain, 2021 Functional pain disorders disproportionately impact females, but most pain research in animals has been conducted in males. While there are anatomical and pharmacological sexual dimorphisms in brainstem pain-modulation circuits, the physiology of pain ...

A trigeminoreticular pathway: implications in pain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Neurons in the caudalmost ventrolateral medulla (cmVLM) respond to noxious stimulation. We previously have shown most efferent projections from this locus project to areas implicated either in the processing or modulation of pain.

Brainstem pain-modulating neurons are sensitized to visual light in persistent inflammation
Neurobiology of Pain, 2023 Many individuals with chronic pain report abnormal sensitivity to visual light, referred to as “photosensitivity” or “photophobia,” yet how processing of light and nociceptive information come together remains a puzzle.

Moving towards supraspinal TRPV1 receptors for chronic pain relief
Molecular Pain, 2010 Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor is a non selective ligand-gated cation channel activated by capsaicin, heat, protons and endogenous lipids termed endovanilloids.

The Role of Cannabinoid Receptors in the Descending Modulation of Pain
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 The endogenous antinociceptive descending pathway represents a circuitry of the supraspinal central nervous system whose task is to counteract pain. It includes the periaqueductal grey (PAG)-rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM)-dorsal horn (DH) axis, which

Nerve Centers Affecting the Function of the Cardiovascular System
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2021 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The activity of the cardiovascular system is carried out by the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). ANS itself is controlled by multiple nerve centers.
