Injured peripheral nerve fibers give rise to an intense and ... now suggests that classifying neuropathic pain according to a mechanism-based rather than an etiology-based approach might help ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used.

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

We now have to change the way we classify, diagnose and treat neuropathic pain from an etiology-based to a mechanism-based approach ... Aβ-fibers: large-myelinated nerve afferents or pathways ...

Axon guidance is the pathfinding step that enables axons—the longest part of a neuron, through which the nerve impulse is propagated ... However, the underlying mechanisms were not yet fully ...
