Substance P microinjected into the periaqueductal gray matter induces antinociception and is released following morphine administration.
The aims of the present study were to investigate, in rats, the behavioral effects of substance P (SP) microinjected into the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (PAG) and the effects of the neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist [d-Arg1, d-Trp7, 9, Leu11]-substance P (Spantide). The effect of morphine administration on the release of SP in the ventrolateral PAG was also investigated using micro...
متن کاملFunctionally Selective Signaling for Morphine and Fentanyl Antinociception and Tolerance Mediated by the Rat Periaqueductal Gray
Functionally selective signaling appears to contribute to the variability in mechanisms that underlie tolerance to the antinociceptive effects of opioids. The present study tested this hypothesis by examining the contribution of G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)/Protein kinase C (PKC) and C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation on both the expression and development of tolerance to morph...
متن کاملMorphine infusions into the rostrolateral periaqueductal gray affect maternal behaviors.
It is well established that morphine inhibits maternal behaviors. Previous studies by our group have shown activation of the rostrolateral periaqueductal gray (rlPAG) upon inhibition-intended subcutaneous injections of morphine. In this context, we demonstrated that a single naloxone infusion into the rlPAG, following this opioid-induced inhibition, reactivated maternal behaviors. Since these d...
متن کاملInjections of an opioid antagonist into the locus coeruleus and periaqueductal gray but not the amygdala precipitates morphine withdrawal in the 7-day-old rat.
Opiate withdrawal behaviors in the infant differ from those of the adult. The neural circuitry underlying opioid withdrawal in the adult rat is well defined and includes the locus coeruleus (LC) and periaqueductal gray (PAG), with a minor role of the amygdala. Because the different behaviors that constitute the infant syndrome may be mediated by different neural circuits, we tested the hypothes...
متن کاملBehavioral and electrophysiological evidence for tolerance to continuous morphine administration into the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray.
Repeated microinjections of morphine into the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vPAG) produce tolerance to the antinociceptive effect of morphine [Behav Neurosci 113 (1999) 833]. These results may be a direct effect of morphine on cells within the vPAG or be caused by cues linked to the microinjection procedure (i.e. associative tolerance). The objective of this paper was to determine whether ...
