“…Additional findings implicated painfacilitating neurons in this stress-induced mechanical hypersensitivity, as the increase in hind paw responses were found to involve MOR expressing neurons located within the RVM. Chronic, non-noxious stressors in particular have been shown to elicit long-lasting hyperalgesia (Andre et al, 2005;Bardin et al, 2009;da Silva Torres et al, 2003;Gamaro et al, 1998;Gameiro et al, 2006;Imbe et al, 2004;Marcinkiewcz et al, 2009;Quintero et al, 2000;Satoh et al, 1992). For example, chronic restraint stress has resulted in mechanical allodynia, heat and cold thermal hyperalgesia, and increased behavioral responses to formalin (da Silva Torres et al, 2003;Gamaro et al, 1998;Quintero et al, 2000;Satoh et al, 1992).…”
