In humans, intradermal administration of β-alanine (ALA) and bovine adrenal medulla peptide 8-22 (BAM8-22) evokes the sensation itch. Currently, it is unknown which human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons express receptors these pruritogens, MRGPRD MRGPRX1, respectively, cutaneous afferents pruritogens activate in primate. situ hybridization studies revealed that MRGPRX1 are co-expressed a subpopulation TRPV1+ DRG neurons. electrophysiological recordings nonhuman primates (Macaca...
Abstract Drug addiction is widely linked to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), which essential for regulating reward-related behaviors, emotional responses, and anxiety. Over past two decades, neuroimaging has provided significant contributions revealing functional structural alternations in brains of drug addicts. However, underlying neural mechanism OFC its correlates with anxiety still require further elucidation. We first presented a pilot investigation examine local networks regions...
Many patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) live in a stressful environment, and comorbidity is not uncommon. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying heroin nicotine dependences their relationships to social cognition could facilitate behavioral therapy efficacy. We aimed provide translational approach that leads identifying potential biomarkers for opioid disorder (OUD) susceptibility during recovery. examined clinical characters between theory of mind (ToM) executive functions...
Chronic and recurrent opiate use injuries brain tissue cause serious pathophysiological changes in hemodynamic subsequent inflammatory responses. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated drug addiction. However, the mechanism underlying systems-level neuroadaptations PFC during abstinence not fully characterized. The objective of our study was to determine what neural oscillatory activity contributes chronic effect exposure whether could be coupled neurovascular information PFC. We...
Ficin, a cysteine protease derived from fig-tree latex, has been reported to elicit itch and nociceptive sensations, though quantitative sensory studies are lacking. Cowhage containing the pruritic Mucunain, on contrary, widely studied as activating polymodal nociceptors eliciting histamine-independent itch.We tested whether ficin in heat-inactivated cowhage spicules would sensations humans, analogous behaviours mice, which similar those evoked by native cowhage, these mice were...
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a highly promising brain mapping technique that enables continuously and noninvasively monitoring the hemodynamic responses in human brain. In this study, fNIRS was utilized to identify different activation patterns between pathological gamblers (PGs) healthy controls (HCs). Specifically, we examined changes prefrontal cortex using recordings during completion of executive function decision-making tasks for both PGs HCs. Our...
The goal of this study is to capture the quantitative optical features degenerative finger joints based on x-ray aided three-dimensional (3D) diffuse tomography (DOT). It anticipated that fused imaging technique can be applied id

The aim of present study is to reveal the different brain activity pattern between patients with gambling disorder (GD) and heathy control (HC) subjects during completion executive function decision making tasks so as identify basic neural mechanism this psychiatric disorder. In study, we utilized fNIRS explore hemodynamic changes in prefrontal cortex our imaging results suggested that there were notable differences for responses GD HC subjects.
