Nerve injury can lead to mechanical hypersensitivity in both humans and animal models,
such that innocuous touch produces pain. Recent functional studies have demonstrated a …

Several studies have shown that motor cortex stimulation provided pain relief by motor
cortex plasticity and activating descending inhibitory pain control systems. Recent evidence …

In vertebrate somatosensory systems, each mode of touch-pressure, temperature or pain is
sensed by sensory endings of different dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which …

Recent combined analyses of the structural, functional, and molecular attributes of individual
skin sensory neurons using semi-intact in vitro preparations from mice have provided a …

Noxious heat is able to activate heat-sensitive nociceptors in the skin very rapidly, but little is
known about the mechanisms by which heat is transduced. We used the whole-cell patch …

2. Similar to medullary dorsal horn neurons in anesthetized monkeys, nociceptive neurons
in the awake monkey could be classified as wide dynamic range (WDR) or nociceptive …

It is well documented that the descending endogenous analgesia system, including the
periaqueductal gray (PAG) and the rostral ventral medulla (RVM), play an important role in …

Little is known about the cerebellar involvement in pain processing in spite of the fact that
the cerebellum probably plays a crucial role in pain-related behavior. Using functional …

Although injury-induced afferent discharge declines significantly over time, experimental
neuropathic pain persists unchanged for long periods. These observations suggest that …
