Theta burst stimulation applied over primary motor and somatosensory cortices produces analgesia unrelated to the changes in nociceptive event-related potentials.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate pain although the neural basis of this effect remains largely unknown.

mTORC2 mediates structural plasticity in distal nociceptive endings that contributes to pain hypersensitivity following inflammation

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
The encoding of noxious stimuli into action potential firing is largely mediated by nociceptive free nerve endings. Tissue inflammation, by changing the intrinsic properties of the nociceptive endings, leads to nociceptive hyperexcitability and thus to ...

Decoding the Neural Circuit Underlying Context‐Cue Association in Retrieval of Morphine Reward Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Contextual cues recruit the glutamatergic vCA1–dmPFC pathway to retrieve morphine reward memory by reshaping cell‐type‐specific prefrontal microcircuit activity. Distinct regulation of PV+ and SST+ interneurons defines this hippocampal–prefrontal mechanism.

Astrocytes Coordinate Neurovascular Coupling During Prolonged Sensory Demand via AQP4/TRPA1/BEST1/D‐Serine Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuronal activation leads to astrocytic transient volume changes, activating transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels, leading to Ca2+ influx. Activation of TRPA1 causes the release of D‐serine through BEST1. Finally, the augmented extracellular levels of D‐serine boost neuronal activity by binding GluN1‐containing NMDARs, leading to CBV

Anticipation of pain enhances the nociceptive transmission and functional connectivity within pain network in rats

, 2008
Background: Expectation is a very potent pain modulator in both humans and animals. There is evidence that pain transmission neurons are modulated by expectation preceding painful stimuli.

Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor in Nociceptors Mediates Postoperative Analgesia via ASIC3 Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CB1R and ASIC3 are co‐expressed in CGRP+ nociceptors of mouse DRG. Plantar incision triggers an upregulation of ASIC3 and activation of ASIC3+ neurons, driving mechanical allodynia. CB1R activation suppresses ASIC3 function and downstream ERK1/2 phosphorylation, thereby braking nociceptive signaling and accelerating pain resolution.

EphB1 Receptor Blockade Augments Morphine Antinociception via Inhibiting GRK2‐Mediated µ‐Opioid Receptor Internalization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Administration of opioids activates ephrinB2‐EphB1 receptor signaling. Activated EphB1 receptors induce GRK2‐mediated phosphorylation of MOR at Ser375, which initiates the internalization of MOR and reduces opioid antinociception at the behavioral level. ABSTRACT Opioids are the primary treatment for severe pain in clinical practice.

Metabolic‐Redox Remodeling of Inflammatory Synovium by Mannose‐Modified Selenium Nanoparticles for Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Elevated GLUT1‐driven glycolysis and disrupted selenoprotein‐dependent redox homeostasis drive osteoarthritic progression. Intra‐articular mannose‐modified selenium nanoparticles (M‐SeNPs) selectively target hypermetabolic synovial cells to reprogram aberrant glycolysis and restore endogenous antioxidant defenses.
