A descending inhibitory mechanism of nociception mediated by an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide system in Drosophila
Nociception is a neural process that animals have developed to avoid potentially tissue-damaging stimuli. While nociception is triggered in the peripheral nervous system, its modulation by the central nervous system is a critical process in mammals, whose dysfunction has been extensively implicated...
