  • Title: Responses of single nerve fibres to capsaicin applied to the skin.
    Author: Kenins P.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1982 Mar 17; 29(1):83-8. PubMed ID: 7070716.
    Abstract:
    The responses of sensory nerve fibres to capsaicin solution topically applied to their cutaneous receptive fields were studied using the rat saphenous nerve. The polymodal nociceptors responded to capsaicin with discharge and subsequent densensitization to chemical, mechanical and thermal stimuli. Other types of C fibres, and A beta and A delta fibres, showed no response to capsaicin.
