[ 1 ] - Intra-accumbal orexin-1 receptors are involved in antinociception induced by stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus in the formalin test as an animal model of persistent inflammatory pain
Orexin, mainly produced by orexin-expressing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), plays an important role in pain modulation. Moreover, it is shown that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is one of the important areas involved in this modulation. Orexin-1 (OX1) and orexin-2 (OX2) receptors are densely distributed in the NAc. The study investigated the involvement of OX1 receptors in the NAc on an...

[ 3 ] - Lateral hypothalamus chemical stimulation-induced antinociception was attenuated by injection of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonists in the ventral tegmental area
Introduction: Stimulation or inactivation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) produces antinociception. Studies showed a role for the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in the antinociception induced by LH chemical stimulation through the orexinergic receptors. In this study, we assessed the role of intra-VTA dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in antinociceptive effects of cholinergic agonist, carbachol, m...
