Mimicking opioid analgesia in cortical pain circuits

Corinna S. Oswell, Sophie A. Rogers, Justin G. James, Nora M. McCall, Alex I. Hsu, Gregory J. Salimando, Malaika Mahmood, Lisa M. Wooldridge, Meghan Wachira, Adrienne Y. Jo, Raquel Adaia Sandoval Ortega, Jessica A. Wojick, Katherine Beattie, Sofia A. Farinas, Samar Nasser Chehimi, , Gregory F. Corder

The paper identifies a cortical circuit in mice modulated by opioids and develops a gene therapy to mimic opioid analgesia for chronic pain.

Chronic intermittent ethanol and acute stress similarly modulate BNST CRF neuron activity via noradrenergic signaling

Angela E. Snyder, Gregory J. Salimando, Danny G. Winder, Yuval Silberman

This study shows that chronic intermittent ethanol and acute stress similarly affect BNST CRF neuron activity through noradrenergic signaling, disrupting beta-adrenergic receptor balance.
