Abstract

Lanthanum chloride (La+3; 1 mol) was microcannulated into the ventral central gray of rats. The latency to tail-flick and to face-rub (both evoked by noxious heat) was elevated to about 250% of a sham control condition. Naloxone, 2 mg/kg, antagonized the analgesia, reducing the latencies to values not different, in most cases, from control values.
