Kappa opioid receptors in excitatory spinal neurons gate acute pain: evidence from mouse and human

Nicole A Kooij, Brandon M. Wills, Laney Waydick…·Tayler D. Sheahan

This study shows that KOR-expressing spinal neurons inhibit acute pain by reducing pain-promoting neuropeptide release in both mouse and human.

Identification of a convergent spinal neuron population that encodes itch

Tayler D. Sheahan, Charles A. Warwick, Abby Cui…·Sarah E. Ross

The paper identifies a GRPR-expressing spinal neuron population that encodes itch and shows that kappa opioid receptor agonists inhibit itch by targeting these neurons.
