Abstract
We investigated alterations in opiateโbinding sites in the upper dorsal horn after transection of the related peripheral sensory nerve in rats. The binding of (^3^H)diprenorphine was measured autoradiographically. The findings indicated a shift of the binding sites, rather than a degenerating disappearance, with a decrease in nerve fibers but an increase in nerve cells. This may be due to latent opiateโbinding sites becoming manifest.

Opiates active at the mu-opiate receptor (MOR) produce antinociception, in part, through actions involving substance P (SP), a peptide present in both unmyelinated primary afferents and interneurons within the dorsal horn. We examined potential functional sites for interactions between SP and MOR by
Effects of systemically administered cocaine on formalin-induced pain behavior and c-fos-like immunoreactivity in the spinal dorsal horn were studied in rats. During the whole observation period of 90 min, formalin-induced pain behavior was completely suppressed by cocaine (30 mg/kg i.p. followed by
Dual retrograde axonal tracers, Fluoro-Gold (FG) and true blue (TB), were used in conjunction with [ 3 H]thymidine autoradiography to determine the number and neurogenic pattern of neurons with supraspinal projections in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH), i.e., laminae I and II, in spinal segment L1
The different subdivisions along the mediolateral extent of the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord are generally regarded as identical structures that execute the function of sensory information processing without any significant communication with other regions of the spinal gray matter. In
