Synaptic contact between dynorphin A(1-8)-like immunoreactive lamina V spinal neurons and calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactive axon terminals was demonstrated using the immuno-electron microscopic mirror technique in a rat model of peripheral inflammation and hyperalgesia. Adjacent tissue sections were immunocytochemically labeled for either dynorphin A(1-8) or calcitonin gene-related peptide and examined at the electron microscopic level for the presence of synaptic contacts. The results suggest that some opioid neurons which exhibit a dynamic increase in dynorphin peptide associated with peripheral inflammation and hyperalgesia receive direct monosynaptic input from presumptive nociceptive primary afferents.
