Anatomical basis for cannabinoid-induced antinociception as revealed by intracerebral microinjections
Abstract
Cannabinoids suppress behavioral and neurophysiological responses to noxious stimuli in rodents when administered systemically. The purpose of this study was to extend previous studies of the site of cannabinoid analgesia. Rats were tested in the tail flick test before and after microinjections of the cannabinoid agonist WIN55, 212-2 (5 microg) into one of 17 different brain regions. WIN55,212-2 significantly elevated tail-flick latencies when injected into the amygdala, the lateral posterior and submedius regions of the thalamus, the superior colliculus and the noradrenergic A5 region. By contrast, pain behavior was unaffected by microinjections of the cannabinoid into the other 11 areas examined (prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, lateral hypothalamus, substantia nigra, cuneiform nucleus, anterior pretectal, intralaminar, parafasicular, posterior, thalamic nuclei, as well as the ventral medial, ventral lateral nuclei in the posterior thalamus).

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.
