Schematic of the experimental design.
Notes: Cannulations were performed, and after at least 1 week of recovery, PBS or IS stimulation was applied to the dura through the affixed cannula. After the last stimulation (on the eighth day), the vehicle, PNU-282987 or α-bungarotoxin was administered by intracerebroventricular injection to the different groups as illustrated. Twenty-four hours later (on the ninth day), the rats were decapitated.
Abbreviations: α-B, α-bungarotoxin; CM, chronic migraine; Con, control; I.C.V, intracerebroventricular; IS, inflammatory soup; PNU, PNU-282987.
