Painful Neuron-Microglia Interactions in the Trigeminal Sensory System
The trigeminal sensory system is unique in its innervation of structures specific to the orofacial area. Nociceptive trigeminal afferents are known to synapse with second-order neurons in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Sp5C) in the brain stem. The activity of neurons within the Sp5C is responsible for the relay of nociceptive signals to higher brain centers. Recent evidence suggests that c...

متن کاملPainful Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy.
This article discusses neuropathic pain of traumatic origin affecting the trigeminal nerve. This syndrome has been termed painful traumatic trigeminal neuropathy by the International Headache Society and replaces atypical odontalgia, deafferentation pain, traumatic neuropathy, and phantom toothache. The discussion emphasizes the diagnosis and the early and late management of injuries to the tri...
متن کاملPioneer neurons in the mouse trigeminal sensory system.
Pioneer neurons establish preliminary nerve pathways that are followed by later-growing axons. The existence of pioneers and their importance is well documented in invertebrate systems. In mammals, early neuronal development has generally been difficult to study because of the size and complexity of the embryos, and the lack of adequate markers. Here we look at the time of earliest axonal outgr...
متن کاملMicroglia-Neuron Communication in Epilepsy.
Epilepsy has remained a significant social concern and financial burden globally. Current therapeutic strategies are based primarily on neurocentric mechanisms that have not proven successful in at least a third of patients, raising the need for novel alternative and complementary approaches. Recent evidence implicates glial cells and neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of epilepsy with the p...
