Abstract
⺠5-HT1A receptor agonist DPAT produces pronociceptive effects in visceral pain. ⺠DPAT activates of presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors to inhibit GABA release. ⺠Inhibition of GABAergic neurons unmasks the excitatory glutamatergic system. ⺠This effect results in visceral hyperalgesia in behavioral studies. ⺠The electrophysiology experiments also confirm the findings of behavioral studies.
