To clarify whether these synapses are present in the adult and contribute to neuropathic pain, transverse lumbar spinal cord slices were prepared from neonatal, naive adult and adult sciatic nerve transected rats. In neonatal rats, pure-NMDA receptor\u2013mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were elicited in SG neurons either by focal intraspinal stimulation ( n = 15 of 20 neurons) or focal stimulation of the dorsal root ( n = 2 of 7 neurons). In contrast, in slices from naive adult rats, no silent pure-NMDA EPSCs were recorded in SG neurons following focal intraspinal stimulation ( n = 27), and only one pure-NMDA EPSC was observed in lamina III ( n = 23). Furthermore, in rats with chronic sciatic nerve transection, pure-NMDA EPSCs were elicited by focal intraspinal stimulation in only 2 of 45 SG neurons. Although a large increase in A\u03b2 fiber evoked mixed \u03b1-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and NMDA receptor\u2013mediated synapses was detected after sciatic nerve injury, A\u03b2 fiber\u2013mediated pure-NMDA EPSCs were not evoked in SG neurons by dorsal root stimulation. Pure-NMDA receptor\u2013mediated EPSCs are therefore a transient, developmentally regulated phenomenon, and, although they may have a role in synaptic refinement in the immature dorsal horn, they are unlikely to be involved in receptive field plasticity in the adult. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.2000.83.2.955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]],"date-time":"2017-12-21T13:15:55Z","timestamp":1513862155000},"page":"955-962","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Silent NMDA Receptor\u2013Mediated Synapses Are Developmentally Regulated in the Dorsal Horn of the Rat Spinal Cord"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Baba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neural Plasticity Research Group, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy P.","family":"Doubell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neural Plasticity Research Group, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimberly A.","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neural Plasticity Research Group, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clifford J.","family":"Woolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neural Plasticity Research Group, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0896-6273(00)80268-8"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.19-02-00859.1999"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.18-16-06558.1998"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(88)90027-9"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/38502"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/381071a0"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.901870102"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0896-6273(00)80488-2"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902610108"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.903480205"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0896-6273(00)80662-5"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0896-6273(00)80267-6"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0306-4522(95)00026-F"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9861(19970728)384:2<200::AID-CNE3>3.0.CO;2-5"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.1982.0095"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.14-06-03655.1994"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/117.3.579"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.18-18-07436.1998"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/20089"},{"key":"B20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/31496"},{"key":"B21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.1997.sp022031"},{"key":"B22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0959-4388(93)90062-4"},{"key":"B23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.7455707"},{"key":"B24","first-page":"S136","volume":"46","author":"Okamoto M.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Jpn.
