LSD persistently disrupts affective pain processing

Jared Plotkin, Elaine Zhu, Mélanie Druart, Qiaosheng Zhang, Eric Hu, Deven Cathcart, Nellie Jun, Leo Kwok, Tanya Sippy, Jing Wang

This study shows that a single dose of LSD in rats reduces pain affect by suppressing nociceptive responses in the anterior cingulate cortex.

Hierarchical Gating of Cortical Population Dynamics Drives Pain

Eric Hu, Guanghao Sun, Elaine Zhu, Chengju Tian, Isabel Reyes, Zhe Sage Chen, Qiaosheng Zhang, Jing Wang

This study identifies a hierarchical cortical circuit involving the prelimbic and anterior cingulate cortex that modulates pain behavior through synaptic, cellular, and network-level mechanisms.
