Insights into brain function through the examination of art: the influence of neurodegenerative diseases.

abstract：:The tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel Nav 1.8 is expressed only in nociceptive sensory neurons. This channel has been proposed to contribute significantly to the sensitization of primary sensory neurons after injury. We have studied the nociceptive behaviours of mice carrying a null mutation in the N...

abstract：:The 29 amino acid neuropeptide galanin is normally expressed in < 5% of sensory neurons in the adult dorsal root ganglia. After nerve transection (axotomy), the galanin content of the dorsal root ganglia rises 120-fold and the peptide is then expressed in > 50% of neurons. Published data suggest that galanin plays a r...
