The Antinociceptive Role Of The Anterior Interposed Nucleus Of The Cerebellum
Hagains, Christopher E. (Psychology, 2013-03-20)The cerebellum has been extensively studied for its role in pain. It is safe to say that the cerebellum has a modulatory role in pain. It is active during various types of pain, but it also plays a role in inhibiting ... -
BEHAVIORAL AND LOCAL FIELD POTENTIAL CHANGES IN THE THALAMUS AND ANTERIOR CINGULATE CORTEX OF BEHAVING RATS EXPERIENCING POST HERPETIC NEURALGIA
Strand, Jennifer (2016-11-30)Post herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is experienced as burning pain in the facial region, caused by nerve damage from the herpes zoster virus. The pain often becomes chronic and debilitating. Investigations into the pain pathway ... -
Competition Between Dorsal Root Reflex And Sympathetic Activity On Neurogenic Inflammation
Li, Ailing (Psychology, 2012-04-11)Neurogenic inflammation is caused by the inflammatory substances released from the peripheral terminals of afferent fibers. Vasodilation is one of the cardinal signs of neurogenic inflammation. It is thought that neurogenic ... -
Investigating The Optical Signals In The Brain And Spinal Cord During Nociception
He, Ji Wei (Psychology, 2010-07-19)Neuroimaging technologies have been widely used to study brain functioning based on a tight correlation between neurons and neighboring vasculature during neural activation, called neurovascular coupling. However, many ... -
The Local Field Potential In The Medial Prefrontal Cortex In Respose To Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Li, Ailing (Psychology, 2014-09-17)Nociceptive stimuli can activate peripheral nociceptors to produce nociceptive signals which can be projected to the spinal cord and further up to the thalamus and many other cortical and subcortical areas through ascending ... -
Local Field Potential Signatures In The Anterior Cingulate And Primary Somatosensory Cortices During Pain Processing
Harris Bozer, Amber Lee AnnPain is the primary motive to seek physician care and animal research is informative for investigating the brain activity that underlies pain. Extensively studied brain areas involved in pain processing include the anterior ... -
Multi-region Local Field Potential Signatures and Brain Coherence Alternations in Response to Migraine Attacks
Wang, Zhen (2022-05-09)Migraine is a recurrent primary headache disorder with moderate to severe disability. It has been ranked as the second leading cause of disability and the sixth most prevalent disease. However, the pathophysiology of ... -
Pain Modulation By The Amygdala: Hemispheric Lateralization Of Pro- And Anti-nociceptive Properties During The Progression Of Inflammatory Pain
Kajumba, Mayanja M.Inflammatory pain is a feature of various diseases, and a leading cause of disabling discomfort among patients. Despite the extensive and costly neurophysiological and pharmacological research, even the most potent of the ... -
THE PAIN IN THE PLEASURE: ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TAIL REGION OF THE VENTRAL TEGMENTAL AREA (tVTA)
Parchure, Akshay (2020-12-07)The mesolimbic (midbrain) reward system is well documented to be involved with the analgesic effects of opioids, which involves the ventral tegmental area (VTA) causing release of dopamine (DA). The dopamine neurons from ...
