Journal ArticleDOI

Hemopressin is an inverse agonist of CB1 cannabinoid receptors.

TL;DR: The identification of hemopressin (PVNFKFLSH) as a peptide ligand that selectively binds CB1 cannabinoid receptors is identified and it is found that it exhibits antinociceptive effects when administered by either intrathecal, intraplantar, or oral routes, underscoring hemopressingin's therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Motor cortex stimulation inhibits thalamic sensory neurons and enhances activity of PAG neurons: Possible pathways for antinociception

TL;DR: The present findings suggest that inhibition of thalamic sensory neurons and disinhibition of the neurons in periaqueductal gray are at least in part responsible for the motor cortex stimulation‐induced antinociception.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transdural motor cortex stimulation reverses neuropathic pain in rats: a profile of neuronal activation.

TL;DR: The present findings suggest that MCS reverts neuropathic pain phenomena in rats, mimicking the effect observed in humans, through activation of the limbic and descending pain inhibitory systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antinociception induced by epidural motor cortex stimulation in naive conscious rats is mediated by the opioid system

TL;DR: Data shown herein demonstrate that epidural electrical MCS elicits a substantial and selective antinociceptive effect, which is mediated by opioids, and abolished the increase in nociception threshold induced by MCS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional mapping of the motor cortex of the rat using transdural electrical stimulation

TL;DR: This method allows a non-invasive mapping of the surface of the neocortex providing a differentiation of representative motor areas in rat motor cortex, possibly benefiting patients who do not respond to this neuromodulation therapy.
