    Systemic administration of capsaicin to neonatal rats results in the permanent destruction of up to 90% of their unmyelinated afferent (C) fibres (Nagy et al. 1983)- In this study, the properties of type 2 dorsal horn neurons, which normally receive a convergent input from both myelinated (A) and unmyelinated (C) afferent fibres, have been examined in adult rats treated at birth with capsaicin.
