Tumor-infiltrating nerves functionally alter brain circuits and modulate behavior in a male mouse model of head-and-neck cancer

This study shows tumor-infiltrating nerves alter brain circuits and behavior in a male mouse model of head-and-neck cancer by changing neural activity and behavior.

Tumor-infiltrating nerves create an electro-physiologically active microenvironment and contribute to treatment resistance

The paper shows that tumor-infiltrating nerves contribute to treatment resistance and that chemotherapy increases tumor innervation.
