The aim of this thesis was to investigate the involvement of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in spinal pain transmission. In Chapter 1 some recent developments regarding the organization of the nociceptive system are discussed, followed by a description of the involvement of neurotrophic factors in sensory transmission. This information provides the necessary background for the interpretation of the findings in the chapters to follow.
