Abstract
Chronic stimulation of PVG-PAG, introduced by Richardson and Akil (1977 a, b), is commonly used for pain control. The present autopsy study localizes anatomically for the first time a variety of stimulation-induced effects frequently reported in the literature during the stimulation of PVG-PAG as an aid to future electrode localization.
