A comparison was made of the amount of HRP uptake from transected versus intact axonal endings of rostral ventromedial medulla (RVMM) and locus coeruleus cells projecting via the dorsolateral funiculus in the rat. We found that retrograde labelling in the RVMM was reliably different between treatmen...
