Temporal single-cell profiling of the parabrachial Calca neurons reveals molecular dynamics driving nociplastic pain

Sekun Park, Hutchinson H Clarke, Feng Cao…·Richard D. Palmiter

The paper uses temporal single-cell RNA sequencing to study Calca neurons in mice and identifies BDNF as a key driver of persistent nociplastic pain.

Parabrachial Ntsr1 neurons modulate food intake and anxiety through a projection to the ventromedial hypothalamus

Jordan L. Pauli, Sekun Park, Rachel R Felix, Richard D. Palmiter

This paper identifies a population of Ntsr1-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus that project to the ventromedial hypothalamus, modulating food intake and anxiety through chemogenetic activation and silencing.
