The system involved in conveying nociceptive information to the brain is known as the anterolateral system.
Examples of nociceptive pain include cancer pain from bone or tissue invasion, or non-cancer pain secondary to degenerative bone and joint disease or osteoarthritis.
The receptive fields of nociceptive neurons in this route are restricted.
However, there are several lines of evidence that suggest a role of the dorsal column nuclei in nociceptive transmission.
The social bond supported by this nociceptive mechanism, in its most important form, facilitates parental behaviors that ensure the survival of the young.
There have been numerous studies of nociceptive mechanisms in rats.
Seventy-five cancer patients who were receiving opioid therapy and reported sufficient pain relief of nociceptive, but not neuropathic, pain were enrolled.
Therefore, microglia and the neuron-to-microglial signal fractalkine might be involved in both somatic and visceral nociceptive processing.
Unit responses were searched with a protocol including tests of motor voluntary function, and tactile, nociceptive and proprioceptive stimuli.
There was an increase in the proportion of neurons that showed nociceptive responses to somatic stimulation among cells that had visceral input.
