The Contribution Of The Dorsal Root Reflex And The Sympathetic Nervous System In Formalin-evoked Neurogenic Inflammation
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)
The present study investigated the role of dorsal root reflex (DRR), which is characterized as antidromic firing via primary afferent fibers towards the periphery, and the sympathetic nervous system in neurogenic inflammation. ...
