Modulation of synaptic transmission from primary afferents to spinal substantia gelatinosa neurons by group III mGluRs in GAD65-EGFP transgenic mice.
Group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are involved in nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. However, the cellular mechanism underlying the modulation of synaptic transmission from nociceptive primary afferents to dorsal horn neurons by group III mGluRs has yet to be explored. In this study, we used transgenic mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under t...
متن کاملLow-frequency stimulation of afferent Adelta-fibers induces long-term depression at primary afferent synapses with substantia gelatinosa neurons in the rat.
Impulses in primary afferent nerve fibers may produce short- or long-lasting modifications in spinal nociception. Here we have identified a robust long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons that can be induced by low-frequency stimulation of primary afferent Adelta-fibers. Synaptic transmission between dorsal root afferents and neurons in the substantia...

Impulses in primary afferent nerve fibers may produce shortor long-lasting modifications in spinal nociception. Here we have identified a robust long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons that can be induced by low-frequency stimulation of primary afferent Adfibers. Synaptic transmission between dorsal root afferents and neurons in the substantia gelati...
متن کاملDirect excitation of spinal GABAergic interneurons by noradrenaline.
Endogenous pain control is, in part, mediated by descending inhibition of spinal nociception via spinal release of noradrenaline. Antinociception by activation of descending noradrenergic fibres has partially been attributed to the direct inhibition of nociceptive spinal neurons. Here, we tested the alternative hypothesis: the direct excitation of inhibitory spinal interneurons by noradrenaline...
متن کاملPhysiological properties of spinal lamina II GABAergic neurons in mice following peripheral nerve injury.
Aberrant GABAergic inhibition in spinal dorsal horn may underlie some forms of neuropathic pain. Potential, but yet unexplored, mechanisms include reduced excitability, abnormal discharge patterns or altered synaptic input of spinal GABAergic neurons. To test these hypotheses, we quantitatively compared active and passive membrane properties, firing patterns in response to depolarizing current ...
