Maresin 1 Inhibits TRPV1 in Temporomandibular Joint-Related Trigeminal Nociceptive Neurons and TMJ Inflammation-Induced Synaptic Plasticity in the Trigeminal Nucleus

Figure 1

Verification of DiI-labeled trigeminal primary afferent neurons. (a) Retrograde labeling of trigeminal primary afferent neurons by TMJ injection with the fluorescent dye DiI. (b) Identification of DiI-labeled dissociated TG neurons. As illustrated, the representative large, medium, and small neurons are visualized under phase-contrast (left), and fluorescent (right) images, respectively. (c) The proportion of DiI-labeled dissociated TG neurons by diameter.
