Capsaicin-induced changes in LTP in the lateral amygdala are mediated by TRPV1.
The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel is a well recognized polymodal signal detector that is activated by painful stimuli such as capsaicin.Here, we Apparel show that TRPV1 is expressed in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA).Despite the fact that the central amygdala displays the highest neuronal density, the highes
