So if we were able to zoom up into the neuroimmune system, and I hope people are gracious to you, Derek, because obviously it's complex and it's evolving, but what are some things that are going on in that area? Yeah.
24:51
Yeah, so I suppose first and foremost, you know, none of the recent work suggests that what's happening in the periphery or in the peripheral nervous system is not important.
25:01
And I think that's sometimes forgotten.
25:04
You know, in recent years, we hear a lot about central sensitization and nociclastic pain and all of these other descriptors.
25:10
And, you know, they are relevant, of course, but that doesn't mean that, you know, that there isn't some ongoing peripheral nociception problem.
25:22
What might be causing that, again, is a different question.
25:24
But we shouldn't just see pain as being this central nervous system phenomenon.

So how does that, and I know patients don't necessarily need to know how it affects downstream, but like if we talk about sleep, for instance, how does that influence sleep? I guess, these neuroimmune things that are going on.
