Involvement of Locus Coeruleus Noradrenergic Neurons in Supraspinal Antinociception by α,β-Methylene-ATP in Rats

We reported previously that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of P2X-receptor agonists produced antinociception and the effect was attenuated by i.c.v. pretreatment with β2-adrenergic receptor antagonists. The present study examined the involvement of noradrenergic neurons arising from...
