    Abstract The amygdala has emerged as an important brain area for the emotional-affective dimension of pain and pain modulation. The amygdala receives nociceptive information through direct and indirect routes. These excitatory inputs converge on the amygdala output region (central nucleus) and can be modulated by inhibitory elements that are the target of (prefrontal) cortical modulation. For example, inhibitory neurons in the intercalated cell mass in the amygdala project to the central nucleus to serve gating functions, and so do inhibitory (PKCdelta) interneurons within the central nucleus. In pain conditions, synaptic plasticity develops in output neurons because of an excitation-inhibition imbalance and drives pain-like behaviors and pain persistence. Mechanisms of pain related neuroplasticity in the amygdala include classical transmitters, neuropeptides, biogenic amines, and various signaling pathways. An emerging concept is that differences in amygdala activity are associated with phenotypic differences in pain vulnerability and resilience and may be predetermining factors of the complexity and persistence of pain.

    Abstract The amygdala plays a critical role in the emotional-affective component of pain and pain modulation. The central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) serves major output functions and has been linked to pain-related behaviors. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) in the CeA has emerged as an important modulator of pain and affective disorders. Here we measured the effects of optogenetic manipulation of CeA-CRF neurons on pain-related behaviors in a rat neuropathic pain model and under control conditions. Emotional-affective behaviors (vocalizations), mechanosensitivity (electronic von Frey anesthesiometer and calibrated forceps), and anxiety-like behaviors (open field test and elevated plus maze) were assessed in adult rats 1 week and 4 weeks after spinal nerve ligation (SNL model) and sham surgery (control). For optogenetic silencing or activation of CRF neurons, a Cre-inducible viral vector encoding enhanced halorhodopsin (eNpHR

    Abstract The amygdala has emerged as a key player in the emotional response to pain and pain modulation. The lateral and capsular regions of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) represent the "nociceptive amygdala" due to their high content of neurons that process pain-related information. These CeA divisions are the targets of the spino-parabrachio-amygdaloid pain pathway, which is the predominant source of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) within the amygdala. Changes in lateral and capsular CeA neurons have previously been observed in pain models, and synaptic plasticity in these areas has been linked to pain-related behavior. CGRP has been demonstrated to play an important role in peripheral and spinal mechanisms, and in pain-related amygdala plasticity in male rats in an acute arthritis pain model. However, the role of CGRP in chronic neuropathic pain-related amygdala function and behaviors remains to be determined for both male and female rats. Here we tested the hypothesis that the CGRP1 receptor is involved in neuropathic pain-related amygdala activity, and that blockade of this receptor can inhibit neuropathic pain behaviors in both sexes. CGRP mRNA expression levels in the CeA of male rats were upregulated at the acute stage of the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model of neuropathic pain, whereas female rats had significantly higher CGRP and CGRP receptor component expression at the chronic stage. A CGRP1 receptor antagonist (CGRP 8-37) administered into the CeA in chronic neuropathic rats reduced mechanical hypersensitivity (von Frey and paw compression tests) in both sexes but showed female-predominant effects on emotional-affective responses (ultrasonic vocalizations) and anxiety-like behaviors (open field test). CGRP 8-37 inhibited the activity of CeA output neurons assessed with calcium imaging in brain slices from chronic neuropathic pain rats. Together, these findings may suggest that CGRP1 receptors in the CeA are involved in neuropathic pain-related amygdala activity and contribute to sensory aspects in both sexes but to emotional-affective pain responses predominantly in females. The sexually dimorphic function of CGRP in the amygdala would make CGRP1 receptors a potential therapeutic target for neuropathic pain relief, particularly in females in chronic pain conditions.

    Abstract Neuroplasticity in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) plays a key role in the modulation of pain and its aversive component. The dynorphin/kappa opioid receptor (KOR) system in the amygdala is critical for averse-affective behaviors in pain conditions, but its mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we used chemogenetic manipulations of amygdala KOR-expressing neurons to analyze the behavioral consequences in a chronic neuropathic pain model. For the chemogenetic inhibition or activation of KOR neurons in the CeA, a Cre-inducible viral vector encoding Gi-DREADD (hM4Di) or Gq-DREADD (hM3Dq) was injected stereotaxically into the right CeA of transgenic KOR-Cre mice. The chemogenetic inhibition of KOR neurons expressing hM4Di with a selective DREADD actuator (deschloroclozapine, DCZ) in sham control mice significantly decreased inhibitory transmission, resulting in a shift of inhibition/excitation balance to promote excitation and induced pain behaviors. The chemogenetic activation of KOR neurons expressing hM3Dq with DCZ in neuropathic mice significantly increased inhibitory transmission, decreased excitability, and decreased neuropathic pain behaviors. These data suggest that amygdala KOR neurons modulate pain behaviors by exerting an inhibitory tone on downstream CeA neurons. Therefore, activation of these interneurons or blockade of inhibitory KOR signaling in these neurons could restore control of amygdala output and mitigate pain.

    Abstract Chronic pain presents a therapeutic challenge due to the highly complex interplay of sensory, emotional-affective and cognitive factors. The mechanisms of the transition from acute to chronic pain are not well understood. We hypothesized that neuroimmune mechanisms in the amygdala, a brain region involved in the emotional-affective component of pain and pain modulation, play an important role through high motility group box 1 (Hmgb1), a pro-inflammatory molecule that has been linked to neuroimmune signaling in spinal nociception. Transcriptomic analysis revealed an upregulation of Hmgb1 mRNA in the right but not left central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) at the chronic stage of a spinal nerve ligation (SNL) rat model of neuropathic pain. Hmgb1 silencing with a stereotaxic injection of siRNA for Hmgb1 into the right CeA of adult male and female rats 1 week after (post-treatment), but not 2 weeks before (pre-treatment) SNL induction decreased mechanical hypersensitivity and emotional-affective responses, but not anxiety-like behaviors, measured 4 weeks after SNL. Immunohistochemical data suggest that neurons are a major source of Hmgb1 in the CeA. Therefore, Hmgb1 in the amygdala may contribute to the transition from acute to chronic neuropathic pain, and the inhibition of Hmgb1 at a subacute time point can mitigate neuropathic pain.
