Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Accumulating evidence shows peptide-containing primary afferent neurons possess a dual sensory-efferent function.
  • Modulating neurotransmitter release and effects from these neurons is a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current approaches for developing pharmacological tools to modulate primary afferent neuron function.
  • To highlight the potential for establishing a new field of 'sensory pharmacology'.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing research on pharmacological modulation of primary afferent neurons.
  • Discussion of different strategies targeting neurotransmitter release and postjunctional effects.

Main Results:

  • Several approaches are being explored to modulate the function of primary afferent neurons.
