Intrathecal CGRP promotes sensitization of primary trigeminal nociceptive neurons.
10">Stimulatory effects of CGRP are mediated by PKA and involve astrocyte activation.
15">CGRP-dependent behavioral changes associate with increased P-ERK levels in ganglion.
Elevated CGRP levels in spinal cord promote neuron-glia communication in ganglion.
Our results provide direct evidence of bidirectional signaling within trigeminal system.
