Analgesia elicited by prefrontal stimulation
Abstract
Bipolar stimulating electrodes were placed into the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) or control sites (occipital or cerebellar cortices) in adult male rats. Subsequently, it was determined that PFC stimulation resulted in a significant elevation of nociceptive response latencies, as tested using hot plate and tail flick techniques. Stimulation in control sites did not produce an increase in these response latencies. Rats receiving PFC stimulation were able to respond normally to various innocuous stimuli. Furthermore, seizures were not observed in these rats. These facts indicated that PFC stimulation did not disorient the animals nor inhibit their voluntary motor activity. The results of this study seem to indicate that the PFC is a site from which stimulus-produced analgesia may be elicited.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
