ABSTRACT
The periaqueductal gray (PAG) area may modulate cardiovascular functions and trigger several stereotyped behavioural responses through a mechanism mediated by the interaction of L-glutamate with arginine vasopressin (AVP). Moreover, only the NMDA- but not the non-NMDA-glutamergic subtype receptors might participate in the control of these neurovegetative functions also modifying the homeostasis of the hypothalamic-neurohypophysis system. This latter effect may be due to the tight connections between the PAG area neurons to the more cephalic nuclei within the brainstem.
