In co-cultured dorsal root ganglion and dorsal horn neurons, 100 µM Semax increased the paired-pulse ratio in sensory synapses from 0.53 to 0.95 (P < 0.001).
In plain wordsIn cultured nerve cells, Semax at 100 µM changed short-term signal behaviour by raising the paired-pulse ratio.

The influence of long-term culturing (12 days in vitro) of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and dorsal horn (DH) neurons with peptide Semax on the level of synaptic activity at co-cultures, as well as short-term plasticity in sensory synapses were studied.
