Pain & Neurochemistry

Pain is a complex neurological process involving the activation, modulation, and transmission of signals within the nervous system. It serves as a crucial protective mechanism, alerting the body to potential harm. The field of pain neurochemistry explores the molecular and biochemical pathways underlying pain perception, including the role of neurotransmitters, receptors, and signaling molecules in pain processing. Dysregulation of these mechanisms can lead to chronic pain conditions, neuropathic pain, and inflammatory disorders. Pain perception begins with the activation of nociceptors, specialized sensory neurons that detect noxious stimuli such as heat, pressure, and chemical irritants. These neurons transmit signals via the spinal cord to the brain, where pain is processed and interpreted. Neurotransmitters such as glutamate, substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) play key roles in amplifying pain signals, while inhibitory neurotransmitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and endogenous opioids (endorphins and enkephalins) help modulate and suppress pain. The brain's descending pain modulation system involves neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which can either enhance or inhibit pain perception.
