Lecture 7: Serena Quarta - Nociceptors and perception of pain

HBP Curriculum: Interdisciplinary Brain Science | Neurobiology for non-specialists - Basics | 4th Teaching Cycle Lecture 7: Nociceptors and perception of pain Speaker: Serena Quarta, Medical University Innsbruck, Austria The lecture is focused on the comprehension of nociception and pain sensation. It will highlight the principles of nociception, how the somatosensory system and different molecular partners are involved in nociception. The lecture will also explore how nociception and pain sensation are studied in rodents and humans and the development of pain therapy. Specific topics which the lecture covers are: • Nociception vs. pain • How nociception works and how a nociceptor is defined • Characteristics of nerve fibers and dorsal root ganglia • How to test nociception: Methods available for rodents and humans • Types of pain and pain models • Pain pathways and important molecular partners (neurotransmitters, cytokines, growth factors and channels) • Specific pain syndromes and pain therapy Visit our HBP Curriculum: Interdisciplinary Brain Science website: https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/e...
