Nociception and pain: lessons from optogenetics
The process of pain perception begins in the periphery by activation of nociceptors. From here nociceptive signals are conveyed via the dorsal horn of the spinal cord to multiple brain regions, where pain is perceived. Despite great progress in pain research in recent years, many questions remain regarding nociceptive circuitry and behavior, in both acute nociception and chronic pain states. Te...
متن کاملCapsaicin, Nociception and Pain.
Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of the hot chili pepper, is known to act on the transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). TRPV1 is involved in somatic and visceral peripheral inflammation, in the modulation of nociceptive inputs to spinal cord and brain stem centers, as well as the integration of diverse painful stimuli. In this review, we first describ...
متن کاملNociception and Pain in Animals
Recent evidence has shown that fi sh display aversive behavioral and physiological reactions and a suspension of normal behavior in response to noxious stimuli that cause pain in other animals and humans. In addition to these behavioral responses, scientists have identifi ed a peripheral nociceptive system and recorded specifi c changes in the brain activity of fi sh during noxious stimulation....
متن کاملProstanoids in nociception and pain.
Prostaglandins are lipid mediators produced by cyclooxygenases from arachidonic acid, which serve pivotal functions in inflammation and pain. Inhibition of their production is the major analgesic mechanism of action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-but also the source of most of their unwanted effects. While the development of selective inhibitors of inducible cyclooxygenase (C...
متن کاملPain, Nociception and Analgesia in Reptiles When
CAN REPTILES EXPERIENCE PAIN? In a recent survey of members of the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians, 98% of the respondents indicated their belief that reptiles do feel pain. However, only 39% of respondents in this survey reported using analgesics in > 50% of their patients subjected to surgical interventions. The reasons for failure to use analgesics were not specifically ad...
