The mammalian nervous system encodes many different forms of pain, from those that arise as a result of short-term low-grade interactions with noxious thermal, chemical, or mechanical sources to more serious forms of pain induced by trauma and disease. In this Review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of the neural circuits that encode these types of pain. Promising therapeutic strategies based on recent advances are also highlighted.
哺乳动物的神经系统编码多种不同形式的疼痛,从因与有害热、化学或机械源进行短期低度相互作用而产生的疼痛,到由创伤和疾病引起的更严重的疼痛形式。在本综述中,我们重点介绍了我们对编码这些疼痛类型的神经回路理解的最新进展。还重点介绍了基于这些最新进展的有前景的治疗策略。
