Developing a 3-D computational model of neurons in the central amygdala to understand pharmacological targets for pain.

Neuropathic and nociplastic pain are major causes of pain and involve brain areas such as the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA). Within the CeA, neurons expressing protein kinase c-delta […]

Descending Control of Nociception (DCN) poorly predicts the development of persistent postsurgical pain-like behavior in consomic Dahl S rat strains.

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is a poorly recognized outcome of surgery where patients experience pain long after healing from the surgical insult. Descending Control of Nociception (DCN), a phenomenon whereby […]

SAFit2 ameliorates paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain by reducing spinal gliosis and elevating pro-resolving lipid mediators.

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CIPN) describes a pathological pain state that occurs dose-dependently as a side effect and can limit or even impede an effective cancer therapy. Unfortunately, current treatment possibilities […]

Glutamatergic Neurons in the Zona Incerta Modulate Pain and Itch Behaviors in Mice.

Emerging evidence suggest that parvalbumin neurons in zona incerta (ZI) modulate pain and itch behavior in opposite manners. However, the role of ZI glutamatergic neurons, a unique incertal neuronal subpopulation […]

Pregabalin can interact synergistically with Kv7 channel openers to exert antinociception in mice.

Chronic pain is a common public health problem and remains an unmet medical need. Currently available analgesics usually have limited efficacy for the treatment of chronic pain, including neuropathic pain […]

Activation of G-protein-coupled receptor 183 initiates inflammatory pain via macrophage CCL22 secretion.

Chronic pain is a major public health problem with limited effective therapeutic options. G-protein-coupled receptors play a significant role in pain modulation; however, whether and how G-protein-coupled receptor 183 participates […]

ARTEMIN SENSITIZES NOCICEPTORS THAT INNERVATE THE OSTEOARTHRITIC JOINT TO PRODUCE PAIN.

There have been significant developments in understanding artemin/GFRα3 signaling in recent years, and there is now accumulating evidence that artemin has important roles to play in pain signaling, including that […]

The Role of the Male Rat Infralimbic Cortex in Distraction Analgesia.

Cognitive interventions, including distraction, have been successfully utilized in the manipulation of experimental pain and the treatment of clinical pain. Attentional diversions can reduce the experience of pain, a phenomenon […]

A neural circuit for regulating a behavioral switch in response to prolonged uncontrollability in mice.

Persistence in the face of failure helps to overcome challenges. But the ability to adjust behavior or even give up when the task is uncontrollable has advantages. How the mammalian […]

Design, synthesis, and analgesia evaluation of novel Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonists modified from Cannabidiol (CBD).

Pain-relief is a long-term research hotspot with huge demand in clinical treatment. The analgesics currently used have several side effects, such as being addictive and causing gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, new […]
