The present study utilized electrophysiological techniques to determine the effects of subfornical organ (SFO) stimulation on the activity of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) projecting to the spinal cord. Single-unit recordings were obtained from 79 PVN neurons antidromically identified as projecting to the intermediolateral cell column (IML). Antidromically evoked action potentials showed a mean latency of 94.6 +/- 5.3 ms and a mean threshold for activation of 1.58 +/- 0.11 mA. Electrical stimulation of SFO (100 mu A-1.5 mA, 0.1 ms) resulted in excitatory responses in 18 of the 27 neurons tested (67%). Peristimulus histogram analysis of such effects demonstrated a duration of
