Term
what gives rise to a slow EPSP?

most paleospin neurons terminate where?
there they project to -2; what is added here?
Definition
brainstem
hypothalmus and limbic; aversive overtones
Term
why is it difficult to sleep when in pain?

yes
Term
in inflamaotry pain, unimodal can -> polymodal*

phosphorylation can activate the TRPV1, what are susbtances that do this? -2
if phosphorylated what can the receptor become?

capscain excessively stimulation TRPV1 can down regulate it, if activated too long what can happen?
who does this happen to a lot?
Definition

Term
the brain has 3 mechanisms for endogenous analgesia
Definition
PAG/perventricle neurons of midbrain
Raphe magnus/nucleus reticularis
dorsolateral horns
Term
electrical stimualtion of RAG or Raphe magnus suppresses pain by releasing -
Definition
enkephalin
Term
PAG projects to the raphe nuclei, and the _ neurons here stop the pain
Definition
5HT (in tissue it activates pain, but in brain is analgesic)
Term
presynaptic inhibition invovles 5HT releasing enkepahlin whihc then inhibits what-2
Definition
substance P and glutamate
Term
post synaptic inhibiton is when enkepahlin binds and elecits- and inhibits-
Definition
IPSP and inhibits seocnd order neurons
Term
what is stress induced analgesia MOA

increase ACTH-> increase B-endorphin-> increase enkephalin
Term
what is responsible for WARMTH (not hot) detection?
what is the range for this to be normal?
if temp goes above 45 do the recpt increase of decrease?
Definition
TRPV3
(25-45)
decrease (so the nocicpectors recieve sitmualtion of pain)
