Abstract
⺠Rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) projects directly to the A7 region. ⺠RVM cholinergic stimulation produces antinociception and reduces tonic immobility. ⺠Inhibition of A7 region interrupts behavioral and antinociceptive responses from RVM. ⺠A7 region is key site to the behavioral responses from cholinergic stimulation of the RVM. ⺠RVM receives projections from the PAG and cuneiform nucleus.
