This study shows that local alpha-synuclein overexpression in mouse prefrontal cortex increases dendritic spine density and stability early on, without significant changes in total spine turnover.

The paper identifies a GRPR-expressing spinal neuron population that encodes itch and shows that kappa opioid receptor agonists inhibit itch by targeting these neurons.

The paper uses two-photon calcium imaging and pharmacological profiling to identify neuronal populations involved in capsaicin-induced central sensitization.

This study investigates the role of NK1R spinal neurons in itch using a Tacr1CreER mouse line, showing their involvement in modulating itch behavior through coexpression with GRPR.

The paper uses optogenetics to assess how non-peptidergic C-fiber afferents contribute to aversive behaviors before and after nerve injury.
