Molecular Mechanisms and Pathways in Visceral Pain [PDF]
CellsChronic visceral pain, a significant contributor to morbidity in the United States, affects millions and results in substantial economic costs. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBIs), such as irritable ...

A primary auditory cortex-anterior cingulate cortex circuit underlying cross-modal visceral pain modulation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsVisceral pain represents an unmet clinical need due to the lack of safe and generalizable therapies. Given the analgesic potential of music and the underlying crosstalk between auditory and nociceptive pathways, this study aims to delineate the neural ...

Animal models of visceral pain and the role of the microbiome
Neurobiology of Pain, 2021 Visceral pain refers to pain arising from the internal organs and is distinctly different from the expression and mechanisms of somatic pain. Diseases and disorders with increased visceral pain are associated with significantly reduced quality of life ...

Paraventricular hypothalamic input to anterior cingulate cortex controls food preferences in chronic visceral pain mice [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsChronic visceral pain is frequently accompanied by changes in food preference. The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are well-known regions involved in pain processing and food intake.

Advances in the pathological mechanisms and clinical treatments of chronic visceral pain [PDF]
Molecular PainChronic visceral pain stems from internal organs and is frequently associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Since the underlying mechanisms of visceral pain remain largely unclear, clinical management is

Costly pain avoidance and its impact on the modulation and extinction of visceral pain-related fear [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlong the gut-brain axis, visceral pain demonstrably evokes emotional learning and memory processes shaping behavior in clinically relevant ways. Avoidance motivated by learned fear may constitute a major obstacle to treatment success in extinction-based

Upregulation of LRRC8A in the anterior cingulate cortex mediates chronic visceral pain in adult male mice with neonatal maternal deprivation [PDF]
Molecular PainIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder primarily characterized by chronic visceral pain. Studies have reported that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is involved in chronic visceral pain, however, the molecular ...

Sex Differences in Visceral Pain and Comorbidities: Clinical Outcomes, Preclinical Models, and Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms [PDF]
CellsSexual dimorphism of visceral pain has been documented in clinics and experimental animal models. Aside from hormones, emerging evidence suggests the sex-differential intrinsic neural regulation of pain generation and maintenance.
