Voltage-sensitive dye imaging of intervibrissal fur-evoked activity in the rat somatosensory cortex.

abstract：:Noxious peripheral stimulation induces the expression of various proto-oncogenes in rat spinal neurons. However, proto-oncogene expression seems to differ depending on the mode of the stimulus. Here, we report that noxious cutaneous ultraviolet (UV) irradiation results in a nearly 8-fold increase in junD mRNA levels i...
