Journal ArticleDOI
Analgesia from Electrical Stimulation in the Brainstem of the Rat
TL;DR: Stimulation at several mesencephalic and diencephalic sites abolished responsiveness to intense pain in rats while leaving responsiveness to other sensory modes relatively unaffected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opioid and nonopioid mechanisms of stress analgesia
TL;DR: Depending only on its temporal characteristics, foot-shock stress appears to activate opioid or nonopioid analgesia mechanisms, certain forms of stress may act as natural inputs to an endogenous opiate analgesia system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antagonism of stimulation-produced analgesia by naloxone, a narcotic antagonist
TL;DR: Analgesia produced by focal electrical stimulation of the brain is partially reversed by the narcotic antagonist naloxone and it is suggested that stimulation-produced analgesia may result, at least in part, from release of an endogenous, narcotic-like substance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opioid peptides mediate the suppressive effect of stress on natural killer cell cytotoxicity
TL;DR: The cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells was investigated in rats subjected to one of two inescapable footshock stress paradigms, both of which induce analgesia, but only one via activation of opioid mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic Mechanisms of Pain Inhibition: Activation by Stress
TL;DR: This dissection of stress analgesia has begun to integrate divergent findings concerning pain inhibition and also to account for some of the variance that has obscured the reliable measurement of the effects of stress on tumor growth and immune function.
