Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Due to unexpected competition, the original project has been redirected to fit into the newly established SFB 1158 “From nociception to chronic pain” where our project is now conducted under the title “Structural and functional interactions between nociceptive and non-nociceptive systems within the spinal trigeminal nucleus”. The topic is no longer restricted to chloride-based neuromodulation, but all types of modulatory input into the nociceptive trigeminal system are being considered. The aim is to study modulatory effects of non-nociceptive systems in cornea, Dura mater and nasal epithelia upon afferent signal processing in the trigeminal system. These interactions include neuropeptidergic effects in the periphery, modulation of interneuron networks, as well as the convergence of afferents onto secondary neurons in the spinal trigeminal nucleus. The theme is thus changed from inflammatory plasticity to trigeminal neuromodulation in general.
