chemonociception (uncountable)

    • 1970, GB Makara, “Superficial and deep chemonociception: differential inhibition by pretreatment with capsaicin.”, in Acta Physiologica Academiae Scientiarum, volume 38, number 4, page 393:
      The complete insensitivity of the superficial chemonociception contrasts sharply with the finding that the nervous elements subserving nociception in some subcutaneous, visceral and periarterial tissues remain chemically excitable.
    • 2014, Omar M. E. Abdel-Salam, Capsaicin as a Therapeutic Molecule, page 13:
      In all reported studies the blockade of chemonociception to large scale of agents was clearly shown, but antinociceptive effect against noxious heat or mechanical stimuli resulted in controversial results.
