DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.06.007
Abstract: Dural afferent neurons are implicated in primary headaches including migraine. Although a significant portion of primary afferent neurons innervating the dura are myelinated A-type neurons, previous electrophysiological studies have primarily characterized the functional properties of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00269.2020
Abstract: The vestibular system is modulated by various neuromodulators including opioid peptides. The current study was conducted to determine whether activation of nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors modulates voltage-gated calcium currents and action potential discharge of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00573.2017
Abstract: The exercise pressor reflex (EPR) is activated by muscle contractions to increase heart rate and blood pressure during exercise. While this reflex is beneficial in healthy individuals, the reflex activity is exaggerated in patients with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1744806919830018
Abstract: Elevated excitability of primary afferent neurons underlies chronic pain in patients with functional or inflammatory bowel diseases. Recent studies have established an essential role for an enhanced transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) signaling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17448069211021271
Abstract: Aβ-afferents in maxillary or V2 trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons are somatosensory neurons that may be involved in both non-nociceptive and nociceptive functions in orofacial regions. However, electrophysiological properties of these V2 trigeminal Aβ-afferent neurons have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17448069221148958
Abstract: The role of Aβ-afferents in somatosensory function is often oversimplified as low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) with large omission of Aβ-afferent involvement in nociception. Recently, we have characterized Aβ-afferent neurons which have large diameter somas in… read more here.
