Nociceptors--noxious stimulus detectors.

Neuron - 2 Aug 2007

Woolf Clifford J, Ma Qiufu

Abstract excerpt

In order to deal effectively with danger, it is imperative to know about it. This is what nociceptors do--these primary sensory neurons are specialized to detect intense stimuli and represent, therefore, the first line of defense against any potentially threatening or damaging environmental inputs. By sensing noxious stimuli and contributing to the necessary reactions to avoid them--rapid withdrawal and the...
