However, affective touch, a pleasant interoceptive stimulus15,16 that acts on both sensory and emotional systems via different afferent fibers in the skin (e.g., palmar Aβ-fibers that relay sensory tactile information, C-fibers that convey sensory and hedonic information) to promote an awareness...
For example, someone with hypersensitivity disorder may become agitated when hugged or spoken to in a clear, calm, and direct tone. Likewise, they may find discomfort in the smell of perfume, the taste or texture of food, or the feel of something on their skin or clothing (such as a ...
In one study of conditioned fear using electric shock, for example, women gave higher subjective ratings of fear on day 2 of testing but lower skin conductance responses [46]. The reversal of conditioned hypersensitivity by ZIP administered i.t. suggests a different explanation of the phenomenon,...
However, 10 weeks and after, the same repeated stimulation induced a progressive tactile hypersensitivity that persisted after discontinuation of the tactile stimulation. Following SNI, repeated stimulation of the hypersensitive skin territory, corresponding to the intact spared sural nerve, never induced ...
The journal welcomes original articles covering the spectrum of conditions managed by health care professionals in clinical practice (anaphylaxis, drug-related allergy, food and insect sting allergic and hypersensitivity conditions, allergic and hypersensitivity conditions affecting the eyes, skin and ...
we perform molecule-guided laser ablation of these neurons and achieve long-term retraction of TrkB-positive neurons from the skin and pronounced reversal of mechanical allodynia across multiple types of neuropathic pain. Thus we identify the peripheral neurons which transmit pain from light touch and...

At the vertebral exit, the lead was anchored to the adjacent musculature with sutures to prevent displace- ment. The proximal end of the lead was subcutaneously advanced so that the connector end of the lead could be placed above the skin, through a small incision made around the cervical-...
