| Research Abstract |
The trigeminal nerve conveys nociceptive signals to the subnuceli oralis and caudalis. Following peripheral nerve injury, weak innocuous peripheral stimulation induces oralis neuronal responses similar to those evoked by noxious stimulation. On the other hand the number of neurons in the subnucleus caudalis and the spinal dorsal horn responding to noxious peripheral stimulation increases following trigeminal and spinal nerves. Activation of peripheral adenosine A1 receptors suppresses the injury-induced hyper-responsiveness of dorsal horn neurons and attenuates neuropathic hyperalgesia.
