Reports that stimulation in the vicinity of the dorsal raphe nucleus evokes in the cat, as in the
rat, a powerful analgesia. Analgesia is accompanied by inhibition of the activity of
interneurons in lamina V of the dorsal horn and may be due, in part, to interruption of the
afferent message carried by these cells.(26 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA,
