Popis:	A comparative study was conducted on the effects of stimulating different central gray matter (CGM) areas on neuronal activity of the trigeminal nucleus during nociceptive stimulation before and after complete section of medial brainstem structures. The possible role of opiate and non-opiate systems in inhibition of nocieptive afferents is discussed. The CGM was found to be a functionally diverse structure: pain-suppressing and pain-promoting systems exist side by side at this site. The inhibitory influence of the ventromedial CGM is exerted by activation of raphe nucleus neurons; that of the dorsomedial area could well be mediated by involvement of the lateral bulbar area and/or activation of rostral brain structures.
