    The intensity of pain reported is consistently reduced in response to touch. [5] [6] [7] This occurs whether the touch is at the same time as the pain, or even if the touch occurs before the pain. [8] Touch also reduces the activation of cortical areas that respond to painful stimuli. [9]

    Since these CTs or C-LTMRs are non-peptidergic, immuno-labelling was a challenge. However, in combination with RNA-seq data and genetically modified mouse models, several labeling markers, i.e. VGLUT3, [6] TAFA4, [7] CaV3.2, [8] CaV3.3 [9] and GINIP [10] have been discovered to visualize C-LTMRs using double staining methods in combination with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH).
