Abstract excerpt

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nocistatin (NST) are two neuropeptides derived from the same precursor protein that exhibit opposing effects on spinal neurotransmission and nociception. Here, we have used whole-cell, patch-clamp recordings from visually identified neurons in spinal cord dorsal horn slices of genetically modified mice to investigate the role of the N/OFQ receptor (N/OFQ-R) in the modulatory...
