Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement
Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement and position of our own bodies, but the field of neuroscience is just beginning to unravel this circuitry. Now, new research from the Salk Institute shows how a protein called p75 is critical for pain signaling, which could one day have implications for treating neurological disorders as well as trauma such as spinal cord injury.

Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK
Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afx122 Abstract Introduction frailty is an increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, across multiple physiological systems, with both environmental and genetic drivers. The two most commonly used measures are Rockwood’s frailty index (FI) and Fried’s frailty phenotype (FP). MaterialContinue reading “Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK “
How the Naked Mole Rat Escapes Inflammatory Pain
Summary: Findings from a study of naked mole rats could be important for helping develop pain therapies for humans. Source: MDC. In injuries and inflammation, naked mole-rats do not develop normal hypersensitivity to temperature stimuli. This is due to a tiny change in a receptor molecule on cells called TrkA, as a research team fromContinue reading “How the Naked Mole Rat Escapes Inflammatory Pain”
Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves
Summary: Researchers reveal the role glial cells play in the sensation of pain. Source: Medical University of Vienna. The sensation of pain occurs when neural pathways conduct excitation generated by tissue damage to the spinal cord, where the nociceptive information is extensively pre-processed. From there, the information is transmitted to the human brain, where theContinue reading “Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves”
