11. Neural circuits engaged in mastication and orofacial nociception
Abstract : A deeper understanding of both movement control and the effects of nociceptor inputs on our motor systems is critical for proper clinical diagnosis of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and for development of novel rehabilitation schemes. In the jaw system, masticatory movements are produced by a central pattern generator (CPG) located in the brainstem. READ MORE

12. Molecular mechanisms of nociception in the rat brain : anatomical connections and trans-synaptic regulation of gene expression of neurons in the pontine parabrachial nucleus
Abstract : The pontine parabrachial nucleus (PB) is a major recipient of fibers fromnociceptive (pain-responsive) spinal and trigeminal dorsal horn neurons. With the use of combinations of molecular and morphological techniques, the anatomical connections of PB neurons and their expression of neuropeptide genes and transcription factors were studied, both in naive rats and in rats that had been subjected to nociceptive stimulation.

13. Contributions of calcitonin gene-related peptide in ischemia, inflammation and nociception
Abstract : The sensory neuropeptide Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a very potent vasodilator with a wide distribution in peripheral sensory nerves, often co-stored with substance P. In the present study, the effects of CGRP in different models of ischemia, inflammation and nociception were examined. READ MORE

15. The role of adenosine and its receptor subtypes in nociception and neuropathic pain
Abstract : As neurotransmitter/modulator, adenosine plays an important role in nociceptive processing. Adenosine receptors are G-protein coupled and four receptor subtypes, A1, A2A, A2B and A3 have been identified. It is well established that adenosine and its receptor agonists produce primarily antinociceptive effect in animals and humans. READ MORE
