The modulatory effects of electrical and chemical (glutamate) stimulation in the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) on spinal nociceptive transmission and a spinal nociceptive reflex were studied in rats. Electrical stimulation at a total 86 sites in the RVM in the medial raphe nuclei (n = 54) and adjacent gigantocellular areas (n = 32) produced biphasic (facilitatory and inhibitory, n = 43) or...
Segmentation in the guinea pig small intestine consists of a number of discrete motor patterns including rhythmic stationary contractions that occur episodically at specific locations along the intestine. The enteric nervous system regulates segmentation, but the exact circuit is unknown. Using simple computer models, we investigated possible circuits. Our computational model simulated the mean...
Chondroitinase ABC promotes sprouting of intact and injured spinal systems after spinal cord injury.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are inhibitory extracellular matrix molecules that are upregulated after CNS injury. Degradation of CSPGs using the enzyme chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) can promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms underlying this recovery are not clear. Here we investigated the effects of ChABC treatment on promoting plasticity within ...
Mizuta, Yohei, Toku Takahashi, and Chung Owyang. Nitrergic regulation of colonic transit in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 40): G275–G279, 1999.— Nitric oxide has been shown to be an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian colon, although its role in colonic transit remains unclear. We investigated the effect of the nitric oxide biosynthesis inhibitor NG-nitro-L-ar...
Nitric oxide has been shown to be an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian colon, although its role in colonic transit remains unclear. We investigated the effect of the nitric oxide biosynthesis inhibitor NG -nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) on colonic transit in conscious rats. Colonic transit was determined by calculating the geometric center of the distribution of radiochromium...
Migraineurs show hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli at various stages throughout the migraine cycle. A number of putative processes have been implicated including a dysfunction in the descending pain modulatory system in which the periaqueductal gray (PAG) is considered to play a crucial role. Recurring migraine attacks could progressively perturb this system, lowering the threshold for future...
BACKGROUND After spinal cord injury, central neuropathic pain develops in the majority of spinal cord injury patients. Spinal hemisection in rats, which has been developed as an animal model of spinal cord injury in humans, results in hyperexcitation of spinal dorsal horn neurons soon after the hemisection and thereafter. The hyperexcitation is likely caused by permanent elimination of the desc...
The endogenous antinociceptive descending pathway represents a circuitry of the supraspinal central nervous system whose task is to counteract pain. It includes the periaqueductal grey (PAG)-rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM)-dorsal horn (DH) axis, which is the best characterized pain modulation system through which pain is endogenously inhibited. Thus, an alternative rational strategy for sile...
In the cat, stimulation of group II afferents from hindlimb muscles evokes different crossed reflex actions depending on the integrity of the spinal cord: with the cord intact, extensor motoneurons are inhibited by activation of contralateral group II afferents; after spinal transection, the same stimuli excite these neurons (crossed extension reflex). We have investigated the mechanisms underl...
Endogenous pain control is, in part, mediated by descending inhibition of spinal nociception via spinal release of noradrenaline. Antinociception by activation of descending noradrenergic fibres has partially been attributed to the direct inhibition of nociceptive spinal neurons. Here, we tested the alternative hypothesis: the direct excitation of inhibitory spinal interneurons by noradrenaline...
