Pain
"Potentially injury-causing stimuli (noxious stimuli) are detected by specialized nerves that are found in the skin, muscle and viscera. These damage-sensing neurons, nociceptors, respond to tissue damage and can cause a sensation of pain when they are activated.
Tissue damage is detected by sensory neurons that relay messages to the central nervous system. A torrent of information is emerging about the molecular control of these cells, and is opening exciting new opportunities for pharmaceutical development."
