GABAA receptor mediated facilitation of proprioceptive afferent transmission to motoneurons is facilitated by TRPM8 channels on C-fibres that are gated by serotonin.

Sophie Black, Yaqing Li, Krishnapriya Hari, Shihao Lin, Nicole De Silvia, Temitayo O. Ayantayo, Marilee J. Stephens, Keith K. Fenrich, Ana M. Lucas‐Osma, Claire Francesca Meehan, Monica A. Gorassini, David J. Bennett

The paper shows serotonin inhibits nociceptive C-fibres and GABAergic input to proprioceptive Ia afferents, reducing motoneuron activity through TRPM8 and 5-HT1D receptor mechanisms.

GABA facilitates spike propagation through branch points of sensory axons in the spinal cord

Krishnapriya Hari, Ana M. Lucas‐Osma, Krista Metz, Shihao Lin, Noah Pardell, David A. Roszko, Sophie Black, Anna Minarik, Rahul Singla, Marilee J. Stephens, Robert A. Pearce, Karim Fouad, Kelvin Edward Jones, Monica A. Gorassini, Keith K. Fenrich, , David J. Bennett

The paper shows that GABAergic neurons facilitate sensory feedback by preventing spike propagation failure at axon branch points through GABAA receptor activity.
