Abstract

Neuropathic pain is a complex condition with a huge unmet medical need. Owing to our incomplete understanding of its perplexing pathology, current therapeutic strategies for treating neuropathic pain remain limited in their efficacy. Computational modeling has emerged as a promising methodology in unraveling the intricate neural mechanisms contributing to neuropathic pain. This review serves as a bridge that links traditional experimental research in neuropathic pain to computational neuroscience. We aim to fill in the gap of knowledge between these two fields by introducing the methodology of computational modeling as well as the neurophysiological background for neuropathic pain. We provide examples of recent advances in using computational modeling at the molecular, cellular, and neural network levels to harness the understanding of pain-associated neural signaling. This integration of computational modeling has yielded crucial insights into neuropathic pain pathophysiology, with great potential to inform novel pharmacological and neurostimulation-based treatments for the disease.

神经病理性疼痛中的神经信号传导:计算建模视角
神经病理性疼痛是一种复杂的疾病,其巨大的医疗需求尚未得到满足。由于我们对其复杂病理的了解不全面,目前治疗神经病理性疼痛的策略在疗效上仍然有限。计算建模已成为揭示导致神经性疼痛的复杂神经机制的一种很有前途的方法。本综述是连接神经病理性疼痛的传统实验研究与计算神经科学的桥梁。我们旨在通过介绍计算建模的方法以及神经病理性疼痛的神经生理学背景,填补这两个领域之间的知识空白。我们将举例说明最近在分子、细胞和神经网络层面使用计算建模来理解疼痛相关神经信号传递方面取得的进展。这种计算建模的整合对神经病理性疼痛的病理生理学产生了至关重要的启示,极有可能为治疗这种疾病的新型药理学和神经刺激疗法提供依据。

期刊介绍: Current Opinion in Systems Biology is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up-to-date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Systems Biology. It publishes polished, concise and timely systematic reviews and opinion articles. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion on the topics discussed. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following areas will be covered by Current Opinion in Systems Biology: -Genomics and Epigenomics -Gene Regulation -Metabolic Networks -Cancer and Systemic Diseases -Mathematical Modelling -Big Data Acquisition and Analysis -Systems Pharmacology and Physiology -Synthetic Biology -Stem Cells, Development, and Differentiation -Systems Biology of Mold Organisms -Systems Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction -Systems Ecology and Evolution
