Summary

This document is a set of lecture notes from a somatosensory lecture in 2018, focusing on pain and different types of neurotransmitters. It specifically details the mechanisms involved, which are essential for physiology and the function of the brain. The lecture notes are well-organized, and diagrams make the concepts easier to understand.

Chapter 14 Learning Objectives Identify the neural substrates (cortical & subcortical) of pain. Appreciate the classical and non-classical neurotransmitters involved in pain. Contrast the distribution of the four different opiate receptors. Discuss different pain disorders including their substrates & treatments. Describe referred pain & the correspondence between internal vs external. Evaluate two commonly employed non-pharmacological interventions for pain (acupuncture & therapeutic touch). General Principles of Sensation Modality: specializations for pain, touch, pressure, temperature Intensity: strength of stimuli Duration: time of stimuli, adaptation Location Sensation ≠ perception Decussation? Thalamus Nuclei Function (N)/region Lateral Geniculate vision N Medial Geniculate audition N Anterior--------------Posterior Ventral pain Posterolateral various vestibular, taste, Co-Transmitters Amine/Amino Neuropeptide Acid dopamine cholecystokinin (CCK) norepinephrine enkephalin epinephrine neurotensin serotonin substance P acetylcholine somatostatin GABA motilin l, S.

Substrates of Pain I Periacqueductal Gray (PAG): Substance P: 11 amino acids, co-released with ______ Contains enkephalins Projects to medulla (raphe magnus) Locus Coeruleus (Siegel: ceruleus) Contains norepinephrine somas Projects to dorsal horn Disclaimers for Pain Bio-psycho-social condition Important for survival and involves networks of brain areas. Mediated by localized groups of neurons, each with specific neurochemicals. Substrates of Pain II Enkephalins bind to opiate receptors (metabotropic) mu (μ): widely distributed in brain (PAG, thalamus, striatum, locus coerleus) & dorsal horn of spinal cord, main receptor Autoradiography: histological technique to quantify receptor distribution autoradiography for μ in rat sour et al.
