Figure 1 Enkephalin Modulates the Sensing of a Strong Pain Stimulus (A) Stimulation by pruritogens and low levels of capsaicin leads to itch and weak pain. (B) Increased neuronal firing associated with high levels of capsaicin leads to the activation of neurons that release enkaphalin, which modulates the degree of pain.
