Abstract
In rats which were injected with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the midbrain periaqueductal gray (FAG) and then administered with formald ehyde into the stomach, Fos-like immunoreactivity was found in tyrosin e hydroxylase-like immunoreactive neurons in the nucleus tractus solit arii (NTS) which were retrogradely labeled with HRP. The results indic ate that catecholaminergic NTS neurons may mediate nociceptive viscera l information to the PAG.
