    Melanocortin-4 receptor expression in the rostral ventromedial medulla involved in modulation of nociception in transgenic mice

    The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a prominent component of the descending modulatory system involved in the control of spinal nociceptive transmission. In the current study, we investigated melanocorti...

    Role of nociceptive arcuate nucleus neurons in chloroquine-induced pruritic behaviors in mice

    Despite its clinical importance, the underlying central mechanisms of pruritic behaviors are poorly understood. To investigate the role of nociceptive arcuate nucleus neurons in chloroquine-induced pruritic be...

    Laterodorsal tegmentum and pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus circuits regulate renal functions: Neuroanatomical evidence in mice models

    Neurons in the laterodorsal tegmentum (LDTg) and pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) play important roles in central autonomic circuits of the kidney. In this study, we used a combination of retrograde t...

    Inhibition of glial activation in rostral ventromedial medulla attenuates mechanical allodynia in a rat model of cancer-induced bone pain

    Descending nociceptive modulation from the supraspinal structures plays an important role in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP). Rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a critical component of descending nociceptiv...
