Trpv1+ sensory innervation of the salivary gland drives pain and supports saliva secretion
Sensory neurons have been increasingly recognized as vital contributors to deep tissue function. However, how these specialized neurons contribute to salivary gland function remains largely undefined. Here, we uncover a role for trigeminal somatosensory afferents in salivary gland perception and function using in situ-based classification, in vivo calcium imaging, behavioral assays, and targeted…
