Peripheral nerve injury potentiates excitatory synaptic transmission in locus coeruleus neurons.

This study shows that PNI increases excitatory synaptic transmission in LC neurons 7days after chronic constriction injury. The observed synaptic potentiation is mainly due to postsynaptic mechanisms. PMID: 28093336 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
