Abstract

Glutamate and metabotropic glutamate receptors on primary sensory neurons play a pivotal role in modulating pain sensitivity. However, it is unclear how inflammation affects mGluR-mediated nociceptive responses. We therefore investigated the effects of mGluR1/5 agonists on pain-related behavior under persistent inflammation and explored the underlying mechanisms.
