Pain, a central feature of meningitis, results from the activation of nociceptor sensory neurons by inflammatory mediators or ... Additionally, identifying other neuroimmune interactions, beyond the ...

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

Decreased tear levels of CGRP and SP correlate with dry eye disease severity and symptoms. Study involved 12 healthy volunteers and 16 DED patients, highlighting significant neuropeptide level ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside ...

We identify seven distinct colonic sensory neuron subtypes with nerve-specific subtype diversity between the lumbar splanchnic nerve and pelvic nerve. We characterise a range of novel molecular ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A new study shows that asymptomatic brain metastasis is more common in stage 4 breast cancer patients than previously believed. The study suggests ...

Pfizer’s Vydura has become the first oral CGRP antagonist recommended for routine use by the NHS to prevent episodic migraine attacks, after being rejected earlier this year as an acute treatment.

Last decades seen an explosion in our understanding of peripheral somatosensory signalling and the control over sensory neuron excitability, nevertheless, the complete picture is still elusive; in ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Localized, intense ingrowth of new sensory nerve fibers containing the neuropeptide CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) was also observed at the fracture callus in rats. [39] As CGRP ...
