Expression of Tacr1 and Gpr83 by spinal projection neurons

Wenhui Ma, Allen C. Dickie, Erika Polgár, Mansi Yadav, Raphäelle Quillet, María Gutièrrez‐Mecinas, Andrew M. Bell, Andrew J. Todd

The paper re-examines the expression and projection patterns of Tacr1 and Gpr83 in spinal projection neurons, finding greater overlap and VPL connectivity than previously reported.

Anatomical characterisation of somatostatin-expressing neurons belonging to the anterolateral system

Wenhui Ma, Erika Polgár, Allen C. Dickie, Mai Abu Hajer, Raphäelle Quillet, María Gutièrrez‐Mecinas, Mansi Yadav, Junichi Hachisuka, Andrew J. Todd, Andrew M. Bell

The paper characterizes somatostatin-expressing neurons in the anterolateral system, showing their axonal projections and suggesting a role in the affective-motivational dimension of pain.

Deep sequencing of Phox2a nuclei reveals five classes of anterolateral system neurons

Andrew M. Bell, Charlotte Utting, Allen C. Dickie, Mateusz Wojciech Kucharczyk, Raphäelle Quillet, María Gutièrrez‐Mecinas, Aimi Nadia Razlan, Andrew H. Cooper, Yuxuan Lan, Junichi Hachisuka, Greg A. Weir, Kirsty Bannister, Masahiko Watanabe, Artur Kania, Mark A. Hoon, , Andrew J. Todd

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify five distinct classes of anterolateral system neurons in the adult mouse spinal cord and their laminar distribution.

Neuropeptide Y-expressing dorsal horn inhibitory interneurons gate spinal pain and itch signalling

Kieran A. Boyle, Erika Polgár, María Gutièrrez‐Mecinas, Allen C. Dickie, Andrew H. Cooper, Andrew M. Bell, Evelline Jumolea, Adrián Casas-Benito, Masahiko Watanabe, David I. Hughes, Greg A. Weir, John S. Riddell, Andrew J. Todd

This study shows that NPY-expressing inhibitory interneurons in the spinal dorsal horn reduce pain and itch behaviors, suggesting they are potential targets for treating pathological pain and itch.
