Long-term potentiation at C-fibre synapses by low-level presynaptic activity <it>in vivo</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Inflammation, trauma or nerve injury trigger low-level activity in C-fibres and may cause long-lasting hyperalgesia. Long-term potentiation (LTP) at synapses of primary afferent C-fibres is considered to underlie some forms of hyperalgesia. In previous studies, h...
