Distribution and possible function of galanin about headache and immune system in the rat dura mater [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Galanin (GAL) is a nociceptive transmitter or modulator in the trigeminal sensory system. In this study, GAL expression was investigated in the rat dura mater to demonstrate its possible function in headache using immunohistochemical techniques.

Corneal injury is associated with stromal and vascular alterations within cranial dura mater. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The cornea and cranial dura mater share sensory innervation. This link raises the possibility that pathological impulses mediated by corneal injury may be transmitted to the cranial dura, trigger dural perivascular/connective tissue nociceptor responses,
