Abstract
Unilateral injection of 100 µl 1% lidocaine into the trigeminal Gasser ganglion of narcotized rats produced a long-term moderation of the discharge rate of neurons in the ipsilateral (relative to the side of injection) rostral area of the spinal trigeminal nucleus. Activity of neurons in the contralateral rostral area of the spinal trigeminal nucleus was not blocked. Functional state of neurons in the trigeminal ganglion determines discharge activity of ipsilateral neurons of the spinal trigeminal nucleus. Activity of neurons in the contralateral rostral area of spinal trigeminal nucleus was not inhibited. Functional state of the cells in the trigeminal ganglion determines the character of electrical activity of neurons in the ipsilateral rostral area of spinal trigeminal nucleus.
