NISHIZAWA, O., SUGAYA, K., NOTO, H., HARADA, T. and TSUCHIDA, S. Pontine Urine Storage Center in the Dog. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1987, 153 (1), 77-78 - Electrical stimulation of the presumptive pontine urine storage center, areas ventral to and/or lateral to the pontine micturition center, elicited an increase in threshold volume at which reflex micturition occurred in response to bladder filling with physiological saline, suggesting a facilitatory effect on the urine storage function. The electrolytic lesions made in the stimulated areas were histologically identified to distribute at the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis, Kölliker-Fuse nucleus and subcoeruleus. These nucleus seemed to work as a pontine urine storage center and to perform a reciprocal action with the pontine micturition center.
