Popis: | Hyperalgesia and allodynia occur as a consequence of peripheral and central sensitization that follows sustained nociceptive activation. The cellular alterations associated to this state of nociceptive network hyperexcitability represent a form of neuronal plasticity, but they are not well understood because of its complexity in situ. In this study, after treating primary spinal neuron cultures with capsaicin (0.5-1 microM) for 48 h fluorimetric recordings were performed. The activation of TRPV1 receptors with capsaicin (0.5-1.0 microM) increased the frequency of calcium transients (0.03+/-0.002 Hz vs. 0.05+/-0.006 Hz, P |
