Abstract
The existence of noradrenergic projections from the lateral reticular nucleus (LRt) to the dorsal quadrant of cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spinal cord was investigated using a combined method of WGA‐apo‐HRP‐gold retrograde tracing and dopamine‐beta‐hydroxylase (DBH) immunocytochemistry. Preliminary retrograde tracing studies indicated that LRt neurons projecting to cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spinal cord were characteristically located near the perimeter of the LRt. Double‐labeling experiments demonstrated that a portion of these peripherally‐located, spinal‐projecting neurons were DBH‐immunoreactive. Double‐labeled neurons were also located at the parvocellular division of the contralateral LRt in the thoracic injection cases. Double‐labeled neurons were not observed at the subtrigeminal division in cervical, thoracic, or lumbar injection case. The results suggest the possibility that the noradrenergic LRt‐spinal pathway might be involved in a variety of pain processing and cardiovascular regulatory functions in the rat.
