Our new paper is out in @natcomms.nature.com!
Ever stepped on a LEGO brick? Of course you have. We show that these fast-signalling nerve fibers were there to help.
Also hinting at a role for these fibers in pain hypersensitivity.
Many thanks to everyone involved!

Central role for fast nociceptors in mechanical nocifensive behavior and sensitization - Nature Communications
The role of fast A-nociceptors in mechanical pain and protective reflexes is unclear. This study shows that these fibers mediate rapid reflexes and contribute to pain perception in humans and mice, an...
