Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the induction of hyperalgesia and chronic pain, glial cells, in addition to neuronal plasticity in the spinal cord and brain, plays an important role. However, pain appears in different pathologies, and it is quite unclear how pain is expressed by excitation patterns in neurons and glial cells in the spinal cord and brain. In this study, we tried to record excitation of multiple cells simultaneously in the spinal cord and the brain in vitro and in vivo by using a Nipkow disk confocal laser microscope, and to clarify how pain such as hyperalgesia is expressed in the cellular activities.
