| Abstract | 1. In anaesthetized rats recordings were made from thirty-eight neurones in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL) with spinal-projecting axons. Their responses to mechanical, thermal and/or electrical stimulation were examined as were the accompanying changes in arterial pressure. 2. Mechanical, thermal and electrical stimulation of either hindpaw at a strength that can be regarded as noxious produced a consistent rise in arterial pressure. RVL-spinal-projecting 'vasomotor' neurones were excited by the noxious mechanical and thermal (52 degrees C) stimulation at a latency that was shorter than that of the evoked pressor response. 3. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of either hindlimb extremity resulted in an early peak of excitation (fourteen out of fourteen), an early trough of inhibition (twelve out fourteen), and a later peak of excitation (two out of fourteen). This response pattern to stimulation of either limb was independent of which limb was activated, but contralateral hindpaw stimulation elicited excitation at a shorter latency. The differences in latency of responses to stimulating two locations along the tail suggested that the early excitation and inhibition of RVL-spinal 'vasomotor' neurones were evoked by activation of peripheral fibres with a mean conduction velocity in the A delta range. 4. Short-latency excitatory and inhibitory responses in RVL-spinal 'vasomotor' neurones were observed also when single-pulse stimuli were delivered within the lateral part of the spinal cord. 5. Ionophoretic application of bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, blocked the evoked inhibition of these neurones on electrical stimulation of the hindpaw without attenuating the excitatory input from the same stimulus. 6. These results indicate that RVL-spinal 'vasomotor' neurones receive an input from cutaneous nociceptive afferents. This suggests that these neurones mediate, at least partly, the cardiovascular responses related to nociceptor stimulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
