Mammalian primary sensory neurones display profound anatomical and chemical changes
in response to injury of their peripheral processes. Peripheral nerve damage results in …

Local treatment of rat peripheral nerves with capsaicin induces permanent impairment of
afferent C-fiber functions and changes in the response properties of spinal dorsal horn …

This paper reviews light-and electron microscopic, histochemical and physiological
evidence which demonstrate that peripheral nerve injury in mammals is followed by …

By making use of the selective neurotoxic effect of capsaicin on chemosensitive primary
sensory neurons, a new experimental approach has been made for the direct morphological …

Summary Capsaicin (50 mg/kg) was injected into new born mice and 5 and 12 h, and 1, 2, 3,
and 5 days later, their lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) with the nerve roots were fixed by …

The effects of sciatic nerve resection on lumbar dorsal root ganglion cells and their central
branches have been studied in the adult rat. A quantitative analysis of the lumbar dorsal root …

The accumulation of non‐vascular, non‐neuronal cells (designated herein as reactive cells)
in association with perikarya of axotomized motor neurons has been described by many …

Peripheral neuropathy can be associated with a variety of symptoms, including spontaneous
unpleasant sensations and pain, as well as increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli. A …

1. Extracellular single-unit recordings have been made from 295 dorsal horn neurons in the
lumbar enlargement of rat spinal cord; 191 neurons in 20 rats with an experimental …

The present study shows that systemic capsaicin in adult rats results in a significant loss of
axons in the subepidermal nerve plexus of the posterior leg but no loss of axons in the sural …
