Schematic representation of the experimental designs and the left trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (VC) brain region. A Timeline of the experimental designs and animal groups (for details see the “Materials and methods” section in the text). B A coronal view of the rat brain shows the location of the VC (The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Sixth Edition). CCI = chronic constriction injury; ION – infraorbital nerve; MWT = mechanical withdrawal threshold; TEM = transmission electron microscopy; IF = immunofluorescence; WB = western blot; qPCR = real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; CON = control; shRNA = short hairpin RNA; AAV = adeno-associated virus
