Cholinergic modulation of nociceptive responses in vivo and neuropeptide release in vitro at the level of the primary sensory neuron

Abstract
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) have been widely reported as pharmacological targets for the treatment of pain. However, most of these efforts have focused on CNS mAChRs and their role in modulating nociception at the level of the spinal cord. The present study examines the contr
