- •
Stimulation of the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) evokes antinociception in rats.
- •
Stimulation of APtN activates two descending pathways.
- •
One APtN pathway relays in the ipsilateral lateral paragigantocellular nucleus.
- •
Other APtN pathway relays sequentially in two mesencephalic nuclei.
