Popis: | Pain-related sensitization involves increases in signaling by non-nociceptive sensory neurons. This can allow non-nociceptive afferents to have access to nociceptive circuitry. In this study, we examine a form of synaptic potentiation in which nociceptor activity elicits increases in non-nociceptive synapses. This process involves endocannabinoids, “gating” the activation of NMDA receptors, which in turn activate CamKII and PKCζ. This study provides an important link in how nociceptive stimuli can enhance non-nociceptive signaling related to pain. |
