Prolactin Shapes Cortical Plasticity in Fathers

This study shows that fatherhood in male mice enhances auditory cortex plasticity through prolactin signaling, improving pup vocalization discrimination.

Adaptation of pain-related projection neurons in acute but not chronic pain

The paper shows that spinal projection neurons reduce excitability during acute pain but not chronic pain, preventing pain chronification through increased potassium currents.

Age-dependent decrease in inhibitory drive on the excitatory superficial spinal dorsal horn neurons

The paper shows that aging reduces inhibitory drive on excitatory spinal dorsal horn neurons, potentially contributing to increased pain sensitivity in older mice.

Encoding of inflammatory hyperalgesia in mice spinal cord

The paper investigates how spinal cord networks in mice encode inflammatory hyperalgesia through changes in neuronal activity and synaptic inhibition.
