Presynaptic Inhibitory Effects of Fluvoxamine, a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, on Nociceptive Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Spinal Superficial Dorsal Horn Neurons of Adult Mice

Abstract.: Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor, has been shown to exert analgesic effects in humans and laboratory animals. However, its effects on spinal nociceptive synaptic transmission have not been fully characterized. Here, whole-cell recordings were made from dorsal h...
