The amygdala has emerged as a key player in the emotional response to pain and pain
modulation. The lateral and capsular regions of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) …

The role of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) is well established in
nociceptive behaviors. CGRP is highly expressed in the projection pathway from the …

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays an important role in peripheral and central
sensitization. CGRP also is a key molecule in the spino-parabrachial-amygdaloid pain …

We aimed to investigate a sexually dimorphic role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)
in rodent models of pain. Based on findings in migraine where CGRP has a preferential pain …

The role of neuropeptides in synaptic plasticity is less well understood than that of classical
transmitters such as glutamate. Here we report the importance of the G-protein-coupled …

CGRP receptor activation has been implicated in peripheral and central sensitization. The
role of spinal CGRP receptors in supraspinal pain processing and higher integrated pain …

The capsular part of the central amygdala (CeC) is called the “nociceptive amygdala,” as it
receives nociceptive information from various pathways, including monosynaptic input from …

The amygdala plays a key role in emotional-affective aspects of pain and in pain
modulation. The central nucleus (CeA) serves major amygdala output functions related to …

The advantage of locally applied anesthetics is that they are not associated with the many
adverse effects, including addiction liability, of systemically administered analgesics. This …

Neuropeptides play important modulatory roles throughout the nervous system, functioning
as direct effectors or as interacting partners with other neuropeptide and neurotransmitter …
