Neuronal-Glial Interactions Maintain Chronic Neuropathic Pain after Spinal Cord Injury
The hyperactive state of sensory neurons in the spinal cord enhances pain transmission. Spinal glial cells have also been implicated in enhanced excitability of spinal dorsal horn neurons, resulting in pain amplification and distortions. Traumatic injuries of the neural system such as spinal cord in...
