⚖️ Pain depends on the balance of excitation & inhibition.
⬆️ Excitation → hyperalgesia, allodynia
⬆️ Inhibition → analgesia
This month’s BJA Education article highlights key mediators: glutamate, GABA, opioids, serotonin, cannabinoids.

🔍 Pain neuromatrix: Melzack’s theory proposes pain emerges from a dynamic network of brain structures.
Below shows sensory, affective & cognitive dimensions.
Not one centre—but a mosaic of systems.

Thanks for this nice exposure of our recent review… the next one in central sensitization mechanisms will be launched in the October edition !
🧠 Pain is multidimensional: sensory, emotional, cognitive & behavioural.
It results from an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory control in nociceptive circuits.
This month’s BJA Education explores pain from genes to symptoms.
