A novel analgesic pathway from parvocellular oxytocin neurons to the periaqueductal gray

Endogenous oxytocin release in periaqueductal gray eases inflammatory pain through long term suppression of pain perception neurons in the spinal cord

Mai Iwasaki, Alexandre Charlet

This study shows that endogenous oxytocin release in the periaqueductal gray suppresses spinal cord pain perception neurons, reducing mechanical pain but not heat pain in inflammation models.
