Neurons in the spinal dorsal horn process sensory information, which is then transmitted to
several brain regions, including those responsible for pain perception. The dorsal horn …

Brain tissue has a remarkable ability to accumulate glutamate. This ability is due to
glutamate transporter proteins present in the plasma membranes of both glial cells and …

Neuropathic pain is a chronic debilitating disease that results from nerve damage, persists
long after the injury has subsided, and is characterized by spontaneous pain and …

The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a
modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is …

The exteroceptive somatosensory system is important for reflexive and adaptive behaviors
and for the dynamic control of movement in response to external stimuli. This review outlines …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Association and relay neurons that are generated in the dorsal spinal cord play essential
roles in transducing somatosensory information. During development, these two major …

Pain is a percept of critical importance to our daily survival. In most cases, it serves both an
adaptive function by helping us respond appropriately in a potentially hostile environment …

The Mouse Nervous System provides a comprehensive account of the central nervous
system of the mouse. The book is aimed at molecular biologists who need a book that …

The μ and δ types of opioid receptors form heteromers that exhibit pharmacological and
functional properties distinct from those of homomeric receptors. To characterize these …
