Abstract: Physically active animals have less mu-opioid-expressing neurons projecting to the spinal cord in the rostral ventromedial medulla, but not the nucleus raphe obscurus/nucleus raphe pallidus, when compared to sedentary animals. read more here.

Abstract: The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a brainstem structure critical for the descending pain modulation system involved in both pain facilitation and inhibition through its projection to the spinal cord. Since the RVM is well… read more here.
