The α2a adrenergic receptor subtype mediates spinal analgesia evoked by α2 agonists and is necessary for spinal adrenergic–opioid synergy

LS Stone, LB MacMillan, KF Kitto… - Journal of …, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
Agonists acting at α 2 adrenergic and opioid receptors have analgesic properties and act
synergistically when co-administered in the spinal cord; this synergy may also contribute to the …

Visual responses of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar flocculus during smooth-pursuit eye movements in monkeys. I. Simple spikes

LS Stone, SG Lisberger - Journal of neurophysiology, 1990 - journals.physiology.org
1. We have identified a visually driven output from the flocculus of the monkey by studying
