The paper identifies a specific neural circuit between the ACC and dlPAG that facilitates the affective component of pain, showing its role in aversive behaviors beyond pain.

This study shows that blocking GABA/glycine synaptic release on axotomized motoneurons slows motor axon regeneration and muscle reinnervation.

The paper identifies distinct transcriptional responses in microglia during opioid exposure and neuropathic pain, highlighting injury-specific mechanisms and the absence of opioid-induced transcriptional changes.

The paper maps opioid receptor expression across brainstem circuits and identifies functional implications in respiratory and sensory pathways.
