“…the medial amygdaloid nucleus, dorsolateral periaqueductal gray matter, hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), pituitary and hippocampus, are rich in NO synthesizing neurons (Vincent and Kimura 1992;Onstott et al 1993). The PVN of the hypothalamus is an important locus mediating central NO actions and autonomic functions (NavarroOliveira et al 2000;Stern et al 2003).…”

“…NADPH-diaphorase is selectively located within the dorsolateral PAG column of the rat (Herbert and Saper, 1992;Onstott et al, 1993;Carrive and Paxinos, 1994) and in the ventrolateral regions (supraoculomotor cap) in the rat, rabbit, cat, monkey, and human (Carrive and Paxinos, 1994). In addition, iontophoretic application of NO donors to the PAG neurons inhibit neuronal activity within the PAG (Lovick and Key, 1996).…”

“…Specifically, injection into the PAGd of an inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was shown recently to reduce defensive behavioral responses of mice exposed to rats (Carvalho-Netto et al, 2009); furthermore, an increase in defensive responses produced by injection of the ionotropic glutamate receptor agonist NMDA into the PAGd was prevented by prior injection (into the PAGd) of the NOS inhibitor (Carvalho-Netto et al, 2009). In this context, it is noteworthy that an abundant population of NO-synthesizing neurons is present in (and in fact delineates) the PAGdl (Onstott et al, 1993). …”
