Research Abstract |
Signaling pathway for inflammatory pain has been thought to be different from that of neuropathic pain. In order to reveal the pathways, we developed a simultaneous imaging method of membrane potentials and intracellular calcium ions. We dissociated neuronal activities, activities of astrocytes, and activities of micro glia. We revealed that astrocytes contribute to the generation of inflammatory pain and microglia of neuropathic pain
