This study identifies spinal oxytocin circuits as a conserved mechanism through which affiliative touch reduces pain and enhances well-being in mice and humans.

This study identifies the role of the gracile nucleus in mediating tactile sensitivity and mechanical allodynia during neuropathic pain in mice.

This study identifies glycinergic inhibitory neurons in the spinal cord deep dorsal horn that integrate sensory inputs and modulate motor output during locomotion.

This paper introduces a new Hoxb8FlpO mouse line and intersectional genetics-viral strategy to target and manipulate developmentally defined adult spinal circuits.

The paper identifies Mrgprb4-lineage neurons as critical for sexual receptivity and dopaminergic reward from social touch in mice.

The paper maps behavioral signatures of inflammatory pain and its relief in mice using computational tools and identifies that a common anti-inflammatory drug does not fully restore pre-injury behavior.
