Pre-injury subchronic stress confers sex-specific protection against pain-associated symptoms in osteoarthritic mice

Roxana Florea, Samuel Singleton, Laura Andreoli, Sara Hestehave, Christopher J. Black, Sandrine M. Géranton

This study shows that pre-injury stress in male mice reduces pain symptoms in osteoarthritis, while increasing them in females, revealing sex-specific effects of stress on pain resilience.

Discrete and sequential critical periods organise the development of task-specific sensorimotor circuits in mice

Laura Andreoli, Antonia Maria Constantinescu, Anastasia Garai, Christopher J. Black, Stephanie C. Koch

The paper identifies sequential critical periods in mouse somatosensory circuit development that shape task-specific sensorimotor behaviours through experience-dependent perturbations.

Ethologically relevant behavioural assay for investigating reach and grasp kinematics during whole-body motor control in mice

Christopher J. Black, Liam E. Browne, Robert M. Brownstone, Stephanie C. Koch

This paper introduces a novel behavioural assay to study whole-body motor control during climbing in mice, revealing kinematic features and multi-limb coordination patterns.
