Differential modulation of neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla by neurokinin-1 receptors.

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is part of descending circuitry that modulates nociceptive processing at the level of the spinal cord. RVM output can facilitate pain transmission under certain conditions such as inflammation, and thereby contribute to hyperalgesia. Evidence suggests that substance P and activation of neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors in the RVM are involved in descending fac...

Rostral ventromedial medulla neurons that project to the spinal cord express multiple opioid receptor phenotypes.

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) forms part of a descending pathway that modulates nociceptive neurotransmission at the level of the spinal cord dorsal horn. However, the involvement of descending RVM systems in opioid analgesia are a matter of some debate. In the present study, patch-clamp recordings of RVM neurons were made from rats that had received retrograde tracer injections into t...

NK-1 receptors modulate the excitability of ON cells in the rostral ventromedial medulla.

The role of neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors in the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) was studied using extracellular single-unit recording combined with microiontophoresis. In rats, on- and off-type neurons were identified using noxious heat or mechanical stimuli applied to the tail. Responses evoked by iontophoretic application of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) were determined before and after int...

Activation of mu-opioid receptors inhibits synaptic inputs to spinally projecting rostral ventromedial medulla neurons.

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a major locus for the descending control of nociception and opioid analgesia. However, it is not clear how opioids affect synaptic inputs to RVM neurons. In this study, we determined the effect of mu-opioid receptor activation on excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission in spinally projecting RVM neurons. RVM neurons were retrogradely labeled wit...

Activation of μ Opioid Receptors Inhibits Synaptic Inputs to Spinally Projecting Rostral Ventromedial Medulla Neurons

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a major locus for the descending control of nociception and opioid analgesia. However, it is not clear how opioids affect synaptic inputs to RVM neurons. In this study, we determined the effect of μ opioid receptor activation on excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission in spi nally projecting RVM neurons.
