Sensitization of pain-modulating neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla after peripheral nerve injury.
Nerve injury can lead to mechanical hypersensitivity in both humans and animal models, such that innocuous touch produces pain. Recent functional studies have demonstrated a critical role for descending pain-facilitating influences from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in neuropathic pain, but the underlying mechanisms and properties of the relevant neurons within the RVM are essentially ...

متن کاملSubstance P enhances excitatory synaptic transmission on spinally projecting neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla after inflammatory injury.
It has been proposed, but not directly tested, that persistent inflammatory nociception enhances excitatory glutamatergic inputs to neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), altering the activity and function of these neurons. This study used whole cell patch-clamp methods to record evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) in spinally projecting RVM neurons from rats injected w...
متن کاملorexin-a modulates firing of rat rostral ventromedial medulla neurons: an in vitro study
the rostral ventromedial medulla (rvm) acts a key role in the descending inhibitory pain modulation. neuropeptide orexin-a (orxa) is confined to thousands of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (lh). while rvm gets the orexinergic projections, the orexin receptors are also expressed in this structure. the aim of this study was to specify the cellular effects of orxa on rvm neurons in vitro by u...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 in the medial preoptic area produces hyperalgesia and activates pain-modulating circuitry in the rostral ventromedial medulla.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) produced in the medial preoptic region (MPO) in response to immune signals is generally accepted to play a major role in triggering the illness response, a complex of physiological and behavioral changes induced by infection or injury. Hyperalgesia is now thought to be an important component of the illness response, yet the specific mechanisms through which the MPO acts ...
