Central Nervous System Pathways Mediating Pain and Fever (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Neural circuit, Sensory pathway, Thermoregulatory pathway
01
Overview
The central nervous system (CNS) pathways mediating pain and fever are complex neural circuits responsible for the detection, transmission, modulation, and perception of noxious (painful) stimuli as well as the regulation of body temperature in response to infection or inflammation. These pathways involve multiple anatomical structures and neurotransmitter systems within the spinal cord, brainstem, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex.
