Inhibitor kappaB kinase (IKK) regulates the activity of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B that normally protects neurons against excitotoxicity. Constitutively active IKK is enriched at axon initial segments and nodes of Ranvier (NR). ... Read more...
12 Oct 2009 Pontospinal noradrenergic neurons form a component of an endogenous analgesic system and represent a potential therapeutic target. We tested the principle that genetic manipulation of their excitability can alter nociception using an adenoviral ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 The nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) has been used as a psychophysiological tool to study spinal nociceptive processes in numerous clinical and experimental studies. Despite widespread use of the NFR, few attempts have been made to empirically test ... Read more...
