A quantitative analysis of the glial cell reaction in primary sensory termination areas following sciatic nerve injury and treatment with nerve growth factor in the adult rat
- BiologyExperimental Brain Research

The results show that the astroglial cell response in the nucleus gracilis and the spinal cord dorsal horn is rapid in comparison with previously described central degenerative changes following peripheral nerve lesions (transganglionic degeneration), and that the „signal” from the axotomized neurons which induces these reactions can not be prevented by exogenous NGF applied to the peripheral nerve.

It is demonstrated that microglia and astroglia are activated following PSNL and that their increase in IR correlates with the development of allodynic behavior.

Differential Changes in Neuronal Excitability in the Spinal Dorsal Horn After Spinal Nerve Ligation in Rats
- BiologyNeurochemical Research
- 2016
It is concluded that nerve injury causes differential changes in neuronal excitability in the spinal dorsal horn, which may coincide with glial activation, and these changes may play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury.
