  • Title: Effect of cervical sympathetic nerve stimulation on nociceptive jaw opening reflex in the cat.
    Author: Grassi C, Passatore M.
    Journal: Funct Neurol; 1987; 2(4):547-52. PubMed ID: 3443380.
    Abstract:
    In anaesthetized cats the electrical stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve induces a considerable increase (150-250%) in the nociceptive jaw opening reflex elicited by tooth pulp stimulation (JOR). The mechanisms potentially responsible for this effect are discussed and the possibility is suggested, that a portion of the response is due to a modulatory action exerted by the sympathetic on the nociceptive input.
