Publisher Summary This neuropeptide release causes the set of changes collectively
referred to as neurogenic inflammation (NGI). This chapter reviews the development of the
ideas about NGI and discusses the major classes of neurons implicated in NGI. It also
considers the data from single unit stimulation, where afferent and efferent function can be
related to individual neurons. Neurogenic inflammation in mammalian skin is caused by
stimulation of C-polymodal afferents. The vasodilator component of NGI involves a minority …
