The contribution of mitochondria to sensory processing and pain
SJL Flatters - Progress in molecular biology and translational …, 2015 - Elsevier
Mitochondria have a variety of essential functions within neurons including oxygen
consumption, ATP generation, calcium buffering, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)
generation. Despite extensive research into the contribution of mitochondrial function in
other neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, the role of mitochondrial function
in sensory processing and pain has been relatively unexplored until recent years. As this
area of pain research is in its infancy, this review will be a descriptive summary—rather than …
