The effect of a thoracic spinal block on fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord of the rat induced by a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord, resulting from a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw, is hypothesized to originate from three sources: direct sensory input of the noxious stimulus, local interactions in the spinal cord, ... Read more...

Innate and adaptive autoimmunity directed to the central nervous system.

13 Oct 2009 The immune system has two major components, an innate arm and an adaptive arm. Certain autoimmune diseases of the brain represent examples of disorders where one of these constituents plays a major role. Some rare autoimmune diseases involve ... Read more...

Current challenges in glia-pain biology.

13 Oct 2009 A remarkable series of findings over the last decade or so has demonstrated a previously unrecognized role for CNS glia in many aspects of neuronal functioning including pain processing. In addition to their recruitment to sites of CNS damage, these ... Read more...
