Molecular Psychiatry - Metabotropic glutamate receptors on peripheral sensory neuron terminals as targets for the development of novel analgesics ...

The peripheral endings of primary sensory afferents can be stimulated by noxious stimuli, causing activation of voltage-gated ion channels and/or ligand-gated receptors that result in the ...

These nerve endings are not exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, the process of communication between the brain and peripheral sensory nerves in migraines has largely remained a mystery.

This final article in our series on the human senses explores the physiology of the sense of touch, including the receptors and sensory neurons responsible for detecting and relaying tactile ...

Specialized receptors in your skin, tendons and joints are stimulated by your finger movements and send feedback signals through peripheral sensory nerves to the spinal cord.

The sensory nervous system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system, is responsible for communicating information about e.g. touch, itching and pain to the brain.

Among sensory receptors, Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) cation channels play a key role in nocifensive behaviors to various stimuli in many insect species.

New Compound That Acts On Peripheral Receptors May Be Promising Treatment For Some Nerve Pain Date: August 12, 2003 Source: NIH/National Institute On Drug Abuse Summary: Results of a new study in ...

The first category ­ i.e. nociceptive pain involves nociceptors, which are peripheral sensory nerve fibers that transduce painful stimuli.

Cough results from the stimulation of sensory receptors within the respiratory tract the afferent impulses of which activate a brainstem cough center.

Deep sequencing of the t-cell receptors for monitoring peripheral CD8 +T cells in advanced NSCLC Chinese patients treated with anti-PD-L1 antibody.
