A novel pharmaceutical therapy for treating chronic pain is under clinical review. This drug (which is of interest because it's not an opiod (addicting among other side effects),
acts directly on pain fibers (type of neuron).
When tested in the lab, the following was observed for the two population of neurons tested (Group A (drug applied) versus Group B (drug not applied (control))
• Neurons in group A had significantly less neurotransmitter release vs neurons in group B
Based on this observation where is this drug acting to cause a change in neurotransmitter release?
blocking voltage gated calcium channels
blocking voltage gated potassium channels
blocking ligand gated calcium channels
blocking ligand gated potassium channels
