CGRP receptor-expressing neurons in the central amygdala contributes to injury-induced pain hypersensitivity

This study identifies CGRPR-expressing neurons in the central amygdala as key players in pain hypersensitivity, showing their role in both injury-induced and spontaneous pain responses.

Bidirectional modulation of pain-related behaviors in the zona incerta

This study identifies an inhibitory neural circuit from CeA-PKCδ neurons to the zona incerta that bidirectionally modulates pain-related behaviors in mice.

Cell-type specificity of neuronal excitability and morphology in the central amygdala

This study identifies cell-type-specific differences in excitability and morphology between PKCδ+ and Som+ neurons in the central amygdala and links these differences to behavioral changes in neuropathic pain.
