Periaqueductal Gray Matter

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLMC -> BrainRegionLMC_MM_PAG


This page covers biological details of component Periaqueductal Gray Matter. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  • *Top-down path to region*: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Periaqueductal Gray Matter (LMC.MM.PAG) (see Mind Maps)
  • *Type*: nucleus
  • *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Modulatory Contol Area
  • *Role*: relay
  • *Function*: Descending modulation of pain and in defensive behaviour
  • *Notes to function*: if there is a lesion in the PAG, then consciousness is lost; electrical stimulation of the PAG results in immediate and profound analgesia; modulatory nucleus
