One of these circuits has links to the hypothalamus, midbrain, and medulla, and it selectively control...
In the internal validation (i.e. performance on left-out participant data) the model predicted pain sensitivity with a mean squared error of MSE1 = 0.32 (pMSE,1 < 0.0001, Explained varianceExpl. Var.1 = 39%, Pearson’s r1 = 0.63, pr,1 < 0.0001, Fig.2b)...
behavioural signs of ongoing pain occur after CCI (for review seeKim et al., 1997). Further, the SNI model uniquely fails to produce thermal hyperalgesia, this may be explained by a lack of denervatedSchwann cellswhich are known to produce many neuroactive molecules capable of acting on ...
