Oxytocin prevents neuronal network pain-related changes on spinal cord dorsal horn in vitro.

Cells activation in A) Control, B) NMDA, C) NMDA+OT and D) OT. Each number represent a cell activated for each situation and the lines represent the simultaneous activation. Colors correspond to cells grouped. Notice that NMDA promotes specific cell activation and NMDA + OT promotes more interactions possible mechanism to suppress the NMDA activity, OT induced activation similar to Control activity.
