Excessive mechanical loading promotes osteoarthritis through the gremlin-1–NF-κB pathway
Nature Communications, 2019 Excessive mechanical stress promotes the development of osteoarthritis. Here Chang et al. identify gremlin-1 as a factor expressed in chondrocytes in response to mechanical stress, and contributing to osteoarthritis via activation of the NF-κB pathway.

Sensory imagery in craving: From cognitive psychology to new treatments for addiction [PDF]
, 2012 Sensory imagery is a powerful tool for inducing craving because it is a key component of the cognitive system that underpins human motivation. The role of sensory imagery in motivation is explained by Elaborated Intrusion (EI) theory.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Localized neuropathic pain can be relieved following the topical application of high-concentration capsaicin. This clinical effect is thought to be related to the temporary desensitization of capsaicin- and heat-sensitive epidermal nociceptors.

Effect of Pulsed or Continuous Delivery of Salt on Sensory Perception Over Short Time Intervals [PDF]
, 2009 Salt in the human diet is a major risk factor for hypertension and many countries have set targets to reduce salt consumption. Technological solutions are being sought to lower the salt content of processed foods without altering their taste.

Epilepsy and the Sensory Systems [PDF]
Epilepsy Currents, 2016 The relations of epilepsy and the sensory systems are bidirectional. Epilepsy may act on sensory systems by producing sensory seizure symptoms, by altering sensory performance, and by epilepsy treatment causing sensory side effects. Sensory system activity may have an important role in both generation and inhibition of seizures.

Physical and neural entrainment to rhythm: human sensorimotor coordination across tasks and effector systems. [PDF]
, 2014 The human sensorimotor system can be readily entrained to environmental rhythms, through multiple sensory modalities. In this review, we provide an overview of theories of timekeeping that make this neuroentrainment possible.

Laser Evoked Potentials in Early and Presymptomatic Huntington’s Disease
Behavioural Neurology, 2016 Pain was rarely studied in Huntington’s disease (HD). We presently aimed to extend our previous study on pain pathways functions by laser evoked potentials (LEPs) to a larger cohort of early unmedicated HD patients and a small group of presymptomatic HD (
