## Abstract Many studies have shown that adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as a neurotransmitter, is involved in plastic changes of synaptic transmission in central nervous system. In the present study, we tested whether extracellular ATP can induce long‐term potentiation (LTP) of C‐fiber‐evoked field

We have previously shown that activation of the ATP-gated ion channel subtype P2X 4 receptors (P2X 4 Rs) in the spinal cord, the expression of which is upregulated in microglia after nerve injury, is necessary for producing neuropathic pain. The upregulation of P2X 4 Rs in microglia is, therefore, a
