The cytokine tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa) is an established pain modulator in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Modulation of nociceptive synaptic transmission in the spinal cord dorsal horn (DH) is thought to be involved in the development and maintenance of several pathological pain states. Increased levels of TNFa and its receptors (TNFR) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and in the spinal cord DH have been shown to play an essential role in neuropathic pain processing. In the present experiments the effect of TNFa incubation on modulation of primary afferent synaptic activity was investigated in a model of peripheral neuropathy
