UC Researchers Find Pain Enhancing Brain System
University of California researchers at UCSF report a pain enhancing network in the brain that may explain why pain perception varies among individuals. The work, led by Howard L. Fields, suggests a counterpart to the endorphin system tied to pain, with implications for narcotic withdrawal, chronic pain, drug dependence, and faster reflexes. The team aims to identify neurotransmitters in the system to develop blockers for chronic pain and better analgesics.
