About the Cover
Cover picture: 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; red) and
tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; green) expression in the rat
cervical spinal cord 4 weeks after transection of the
left dorsal roots. 5-HT and TH expression is elevated
on the rhizotomized side, indicative of
deafferentation-induced sprouting. An inhibitor of
Rho-kinase (Y-27632) accelerates the sprouting
response as well as recovery from cold hyperalgesia
that develops after selective rhizotomy of the C7 and
C8 roots. For details, see the article by Ramer et al. in
this issue (pages 10796-10805).
