Synaptic Plasticity in Pain

Synaptic Plasticity in Pain edited by Marzia Malcangio.

Primary sensory neurons respond to peripheral stimulation by projecting to the spinal cord, where a population of neurons respond to damaging stimuli and terminate in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn. Therefore, the dorsal horns constitute the first relay site for nociceptive fibre terminal...
