Studies using nerve cells suggest that one of these substances, called Heptapeptide 1, is the main agent responsible for triggering pain. The substance appears to work by interacting with certain receptors in the nerve cells, they suggest.

Sounds like a good drug to use for use in interrogating terrorists.

Figuring out what substances can cause pain can also lead one to tempting molecular targets for PREVENTING pain.

I was just thinking the same thing. It would probably leave no permanent damage, and no marks or bruises.
