Rare GPR37L1 variants reveal potential roles in anxiety and migraine disorders.

GPR37L1 is an orphan receptor that couples through heterotrimeric G-proteins to regulate physiological functions. Since its role in humans is not fully defined, we used an unbiased computational approach to […]

Both systemic Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and a vestibular challenge promote anxiety-related behaviors and dynamic imbalance in mice.

Motion-induced anxiety and agoraphobia are more frequent symptoms in patients with vestibular migraine than migraine without vertigo. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a therapeutic target for migraine and […]

Neuron-dependent tuft cell expansion initiates sinonasal allergic Type 2 inflammation.

It is unknown whether interactions between tuft cells and trigeminal sinonasal neurons contribute to allergic disease. Intranasal administration of house dust mite or fungal allergens induced tuft cell expansion, eosinophilia, […]

Spared nerve injury causes motor phenotypes unrelated to pain in mice.

Most animal models of neuropathic pain use targeted nerve injuries quantified with motor reflexive measures in response to an applied noxious stimulus. These motor reflexive measures can only accurately represent […]

Emergent epileptiform activity drives spinal sensory circuits to generate ectopic bursting in intraspinal afferent axons after cord injury.

Spinal cord injury ( ) leads to hyperexcitability and dysfunction in spinal sensory processing. As hyperexcitable circuits can become epileptiform elsewhere, we explored whether such activity emerges in spinal sensory […]

Senso-immunology: the past, present, and future.

Pain and mechanical stimulation are thought to be alarm systems that alert the brain to physical abnormalities. When we experience unpleasant feelings in infected or traumatized tissues, our awareness is […]

The optimal learning cocktail for placebo analgesia: a randomized controlled trial comparing individual and combined techniques.

This study investigated for the first time the effects of individual and combined application of three learning techniques (verbal suggestions, classical conditioning, and observational learning) on placebo analgesia and extinction. […]

NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes and peripheral neuropathic pain – Emphasis on microRNAs (miRNAs) as important regulators.

Neuropathic pain is caused by the lesion or disease of the somatosensory system and can be initiated and/or maintained by both central and peripheral mechanisms. Nerve injury leads to neuronal […]

Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 alleviates morphine antinociceptive tolerance through reduction of ROS-mediated apoptosis and MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways.

Chronic morphine tolerance is a repulsive barrier to the clinical treatment of pain. Whereas the underlying molecular mechanisms of morphine tolerance remain unknown. Here, we proposed that tumor necrosis factor-α-induced […]

Race, Ethnicity, and Belief in a Just World: Implications for Chronic Pain Acceptance Among Individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain.

Chronic pain acceptance is a psychological process consistently linked with improved functional outcomes. However, existing research on this construct has not considered the role of racial or ethnic background, despite […]
