Mice show, “First Aid” behaviors toward unresponsive peers, including licking, tongue pulling, and grooming, which speeds recovery. The medial amygdala and oxytocin neurons encode these states and mediate distinct #NeuralMechanismsOfRescue #TongueGroomingBehavior www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Proprioceptors, though non-nociceptive, express ASIC3 and mediate acid-induced hyperalgesia, linking them to #sngception in both mice and humans 🐁 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♀️ #Proprioception #ASIC3 buff.ly/3Xhs6Ku
