The supraspinal descending pain modulatory system (DPMS) shapes perception via monoaminergic modulation of sensory information in the spinal cord. However, role and synaptic mechanisms noradrenergic signaling remain unclear. Here, we establish that neurons locus coeruleus (LC) are essential for opioid antinociception. While much previous work has emphasized serotonergic pathways, find antinociception is primarily driven by excitatory output from ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) to LC. Furthermore, identify a previously unknown opioid-sensitive inhibitory input rostroventromedial medulla (RVM), suppression which disinhibits LC drive We describe pain-related activity throughout this circuit report presence prominent bifurcating outputs vlPAG RVM. Our findings substantially revise current models DPMS antinociceptive pathway may contribute multiple forms modulation.

Neuromodulatory signaling is poised to serve as a neural mechanism for gain control, acting crucial tuning factor influence neuronal activity by dynamically shaping excitatory and inhibitory fast neurotransmission. The endocannabinoid (eCB) system, the most widely expressed neuromodulatory system in mammalian brain, known filter inputs through retrograde, pre-synaptic action. However, whether eCBs exert retrograde control ultimately facilitate reward-seeking behaviors freely moving mammals not established. Using suite of vivo physiological, imaging, genetic machine learning-based approaches, we report fundamental role controlling behavioral engagement behavior defined thalamo-striatal circuit.
