Role of Anterior Cingulate Cortex in the exacerbated facial response to mechanical stimuli as a sign of early orofacial neuropathic pain.

The study of orofacial neuropathic pain necessitates the use of innovative assessment techniques, such as the facial expression of pain, which mirrors the internal state of the animals and could be utilized to identify the neural correlations involved. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is a crucial center in the processing of sensory and affective components of acute and neuropathic pain. However, its role in the facial response to pain remains a mystery.

Aerobic training improves bone fragility by reducing the inflammatory microenvironment in bone tissue in type 2 diabetes.

Aerobic training (AT) is indicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to control hyperglycaemia and inflammation. AT improves bone microarchitecture and resistance to fracture. The intensity of AT and the mechanisms that lead to the improvement in bone quality are still unknown.

Sensory, Affective, and Cognitive Effects of Trigeminal Injury in Mice.

Purpose: To characterize adequate study of chronic neuropathic orofacial pain induced by a mental nerve injury in a mouse model, we propose a behavioral assessment of its dimensions: sensory, affective, and cognitive.

Materials And Methods: Trigeminal injury was induced by a chronic mental nerve constriction (MnC). Behavioral tests were conducted to assess the different dimensions of pain and to evaluate the general well-being of mice.
