Sex Differences in Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis Response to Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide

2026-05-26

Abstract excerpt

Women are disproportionately affected by chronic pain, yet the neural mechanisms underlying sex differences in affective pain processing remain incompletely understood. The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), a sexually dimorphic structure implicated in aversion and chronic pain, receives dense input from aversive calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)–expressing neurons arising from the parabrachial nucle...
