Pharmacological blocking of spinal GABAA receptors in monkeys reduces sensory transmission to the spinal cord, thalamus, and cortex
Mahrous et al. examine the controversial role of GABAARs in sensory transmission in the monkey cervical spinal cord. They find that blocking spinal GABAARs reduces sensory input to both motoneurons an...

It's official, the Rich lab is now part of the Center for Neural Science at NYU! I'm thrilled to be joining CNS! At the same time, I'll miss my amazing colleagues at Sinai (even though we're not going far).

Here's to new adventures in the new year!🥂
