Peripheral nerves injuries result in paralysis, anesthesia and lack of autonomic control of the
affected body areas. After injury, axons distal to the lesion are disconnected from the …

Following peripheral axotomy, long-lasting changes in the expression of neuropeptides and
their receptors in primary sensory neurons are observed. These changes involve the …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Experimental models such as the facial nerve axotomy paradigm in rodents allow the
systematic and detailed study of the response of neurones and their microenvironment to …

Many known painkillers are not always effective in the therapy of chronic neuropathic pain
manifested by hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia. The mechanisms underlying neuropathic …

This review will address new ideas, including several from our laboratory, on the role of local
molecules and signaling within the microenvironment of injured peripheral nerve trunks …

Abstract Galanin, a 29-amino-acid peptide expressed in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and
spinal dorsal horn interneurones, is regulated by nerve injury and peripheral inflammation …

Placode-derived general visceral afferent neurons of the nodose ganglion transmit visceral
sensory information from specialized sensory endings of the vagus nerve and its branches …

The expression of two vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs), VGLUT1 and VGLUT2,
was studied with immunohistochemistry in lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), the lumbar …

In addition to the known retrograde transport of neurotrophins, it is now evident that
endogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is transported in the anterograde …
