Protein Kinase A–Dependence of the Supraspinally Mediated Analgesic Effects of Gabapentin on Thermal and Mechanical Hypersensitivity

Abstract.: We have recently shown that gabapentin generates protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent presynaptic inhibition of GABAergic synaptic transmission in locus coeruleus (LC) neurons only under neuropathic states. To verify behaviorally this in vitro electrophysiological finding, the PKA inhibitor H...
