The paper investigates alternative splicing plasticity of neurexin family genes in human sensory neurons and finds it is dynamic and conserved across species.

This paper introduces parapinopsin (PPO), a photoswitchable GPCR-based opsin that enables rapid and reversible presynaptic inhibition, and demonstrates its utility in vivo.

This study identifies PAG neuronal populations that modulate acute and chronic itch by differentially regulating sensory and affective components through GABAergic and glutamatergic activity.
