Putative physiological mechanisms underlying tDCS analgesic effects
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that induces changes in excitability, and activation of brain neurons and neuronal circuits. It has been observed that beyond regional effects under the electrodes, tDCS also alters activity of remote interconnected cortical and subcortical areas. This makes the tDCS stimulation technique potentially prom...
متن کاملCytopathic Effects Incited by Viroid RNAs and Putative Underlying Mechanisms
Viroids are infectious agents identified only in plants so far. In contrast to viruses, the genome of viroids is composed of a tiny circular RNA (250-400 nt) not coding for proteins, but containing in its compact structure all the information needed for parasitizing the transcriptional and RNA trafficking machineries of their hosts. Viroid infections are frequently accompanied by cellular and d...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying morphine analgesic tolerance and dependence.
The mechanisms underlying opioid tolerance are not fully understood, but appear to be comprised of two types of plasticity or counter-adaptation, at the cellular level and through neuronal circuits. Current studies mostly emphasize the cellular adaptation mechanisms, which include altered gene expression and receptor desensitization due to phosphorylation and endocytosis. However, the mechanism...
متن کاملCellular Mechanisms Underlying Morphine Analgesic Tolerance and Hyperalgesia
Opioid dose escalation or analgesic tolerance is observed during longer treatments in a significant number of patients with chronic pain owing to cancer or nonmalignant tissue injury. Higher doses of morphine are more likely to result in subsensitivity to the drug and worsened quality of life (QOL) by exerting other side effects. Many investigators have been studying the molecular and cellular ...
متن کاملDiversity of underlying mechanisms in the production of analgesic and pentobarbital-hypnosis prolonging effects of various analgesic drugs and stresses.
Stressful stimuli, electric footshock (FS), immobilized-water immersion (IW), and cold-water swimming (CWS), produced analgesia and prolonged the pentobarbital hypnosis as well as morphine and clonidine. Naloxone completely antagonized the analgesic effects of morphine and FS and partially that of IW; however, that of clonidine and CWS were not reversed by naloxone. Naloxone eliminated the hypn...
