A descending inhibitory mechanism of nociception mediated by an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide system in Drosophila

Izumi Oikawa, Shu Kondo, Kao Hashimoto…·Ken Honjo

This study identifies a descending inhibitory mechanism of nociception in Drosophila mediated by the evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide DSK, analogous to the mammalian CCK system.

BMP Signaling Downstream of the Highwire E3 Ligase Sensitizes Nociceptors.

Ken Honjo, William Daniel Tracey

This study identifies the Hiw-BMP pathway's role in regulating nociceptor sensitivity, showing that BMP signaling up-regulation in hiw mutants causes hypersensitivity to noxious stimuli.
