1. In anaesthetized rats recordings were made from thirty‐eight neurones in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL) with spinal‐projecting axons. Their responses to mechanical, thermal and/or electrical stimulation were examined as were the accompanying changes in arterial pressure. 2. Mechanical, thermal and electrical stimulation of either hindpaw at a strength that can be regarded as noxious produced a consistent rise in arterial pressure. RVL‐spinal‐projecting ‘vasomotor’ neurones were excited by the noxious mechanical and thermal (52 degrees C) stimulation at a latency that was shorter than that of the evoked pressor response. 3. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of either hindlimb extremity resulted in an early peak of excitation (fourteen out of fourteen), an early trough of inhibition (twelve out fourteen), and a later peak of excitation (two out of fourteen). This response pattern to stimulation of either limb was independent of which limb was activated, but contralateral hindpaw stimulation elicited excitation at a shorter latency. The differences in latency of responses to stimulating two locations along the tail suggested that the early excitation and inhibition of RVL‐spinal ‘vasomotor’ neurones were evoked by activation of peripheral fibres with a mean conduction velocity in the A delta range. 4. Short‐latency excitatory and inhibitory responses in RVL‐spinal ‘vasomotor’ neurones were observed also when single‐pulse stimuli were delivered within the lateral part of the spinal cord. 5. Ionophoretic application of bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, blocked the evoked inhibition of these neurones on electrical stimulation of the hindpaw without attenuating the excitatory input from the same stimulus. 6. These results indicate that RVL‐spinal ‘vasomotor’ neurones receive an input from cutaneous nociceptive afferents. This suggests that these neurones mediate, at least partly, the cardiovascular responses related to nociceptor stimulation.
