Notes:
Abstract Chronic experiments on cats showed that analgesics, in subanalgesic doses, not only exhibit an antinociceptive effect when accompanied by subthreshold stimulation of the mesencephalon, but also potentiate the analgesic action of central stimulation. Tranquilizers only facilitate the development of an analgesic effect during subthreshold mesencephalic stimulation. The possible reasons for differences in the action of these substances are discussed.
