Abstract

Knowledge regarding neural pain processing is primarily the result of studies involving models of brief cutaneous pain; however, clinical pain generally originates in deep tissue and is prolonged. This study measured the dynamic neural activation associated with a muscular pain model incorporating both acute and tonic states. Hypertonic saline (5% NaCl) was infused into the brachioradialis muscle of eleven healthy volunteers for 15min after an initial bolus of 0.5mL. Ten controls followed the same protocol with normal saline (0.9% NaCl). Magnetic resonance images of cerebral blood flow (CBF) were acquired using an arterial spin labelling method. The imaging volume extended from the thalamus to the primary somatosensory cortices, but did not include the brainstem and cerebellum. Using a numerical scale from 0 to 10, ratings of pain intensity peaked at 5.9+/-0.6 and remained near 5 for the remainder of the trial. Controls experienced minimal pain, reporting a peak value of 1.8+/-0.4. Significant CBF increases in rostral and caudal anterior insula bilaterally, anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC), bilateral thalamus, and contralateral posterior insula were observed. The time courses of CBF revealed significant differences in the a...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
