Abstract

Immunohistological study revealed the differential localization of subtypes of voltage-dependent calcium channels in the dorsal root ganglion neurons. Intrathecal injection of ω-conotoxin SVIB, an analogue of ω-conotoxin GVIA, which acts on N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels, significantly shortened the licking time in the late phase of a formalin test.
