[ 1 ] - Role of Orexin-A receptors within the Locus Coeruleus in the antinociception induced by microinjection of carbachol into the lateral hypothalamus

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that stimulation of lateral hypothalamus (LH) produces antinociception. Orexin-A (OXA) receptor is strongly expressed in the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) and orexinergic fibers densely project from LH to LC. In this study, we assessed the role of LC and its OXA receptors in antinociceptive response induced by LH chemical stimulation in the rat. Meth...
