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

, 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

Medullary control of nociceptive transmission: reciprocal dual communication with the spinal cord [PDF]

, 2006
Control of pain perception, essential for organism surviving and recovery from disease, is exerted by higher brain centers integrating nociception with emotional and cognitive information and modulating the brainstem-spinal feedback loops that regulate
