Manganese ion (Mn2+) was used as a paramagnetic contrast agent in T1-weighted
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. They enter neural cells though voltage-gated …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the distribution
of the analgesic area when different intensities of stimulation were applied to homotopic and …

Interactions between the input from cutaneous and nociceptive muscle afferents in
polysynaptic reflex pathways were investigated in man. Interaction was tested by evoking …

Purpose To validate and explore the application of a rat model of chronic constriction injury
to the partial sciatic nerve in investigation of acupuncture analgesia. Methods Chronic …

Extracellular unitary recordings were made from 53 spinal trigeminal nucleus oralis (Sp5O)
convergent neurons in halothane‐anaesthetized rats. The neurons had an ipsilateral …

Venlafaxine, a new antidepressant with fewer side effects, could be of interest to reduce
neuropathic pain following antineoplasic drug treatment. In the present study, we …

The cerebellum modulates different nociceptive phenomena and influences visceral
functions. This study shows cerebellar modulation of an abdominal reflex elicited by a …

Godfraind. Facilitation of a nociceptive flexion reflex in man by nonnoxious radiant heat …

A C-fiber reflex elicited by electrical stimulation within the territory of the sural nerve was
recorded from the ipsilateral biceps femoris muscle in anesthetized rats. The temporal …

'Diffuse noxious inhibitory controls' or DNIC is the inhibition of multireceptive neurons in the
dorsal horn of the spinal cord that results when a noxious stimulus is applied to a region of …
