Abstract

Wang et al. find that peripheral nerve injury prevents LTD induction in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) due to the downregulation of Casp3. Disrupting the interaction between Casp3 and AMPAR subunits inhibits LTD induction and induces peripheral pain hypersensitivity. Restoration of cingulate LTD rescues peripheral pain hypersensitivity.
