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: processor.autonomic
  • 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
