Abstract:Nociceptive afferents innervate the stomach and send nociceptive signals centrally to the brain and locally to the enteric nervous system. Nociceptive afferents can be detected with a variety of different markers (e.g., CGRP, SP, TRPV1). However, the distribution and morphological structure of nociceptive axons and terminals have not yet been well determined in the flat‐mounts of the whole stomach. In this study, we used calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) as a marker to label nociceptive afferent axons and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
