| Research Abstract |
The effects of algesic and analgesic agents on the sensory neurons and spinal nociceptive pathways were examined to reveal the species differences in pain transmission. In the rat sensory neurons, the algesic agents, capsaicin and mustard oil, activated TRP channels. The electrophysiological features of spinal nociceptive reflex potentials and the effects of morphine in mice were similar to those in rats. Some differences in the effects of biogenic amines between rats and mice were observed, suggesting that there are species differences in pain control mechanisms by descending inhibitory neuronal pathways in the spinal cord.
