Spinotrode: long-term intraspinal electrophysiological recordings to unravel dorsal horn neuron dynamics in behaving mice

Juliette Viellard, Louison Brochoire, Michelle Janusz…·Pascal Fossat

The paper introduces Spinotrode, a vertebral implant for long-term single-cell recordings in the dorsal horns of behaving mice, revealing new insights into spinal neuron dynamics during natural behaviors.

Nucleus raphe magnus serotonin neurons bidirectionally control spinal nociceptive transmission in mice

Zoé Grivet, Aude Verboven, Franck Aby…·Pascal Fossat

This study shows that NRM serotonergic neurons bidirectionally control spinal nociception through different 5-HT receptors, with 5-HT2c mediating analgesia and 5-HT3 causing hyperalgesia.
