A molecular map of the human spinal dorsal and ventral horn defines arrangement of neuronal types and glial sex differences
The spinal cord is the gateway for sensory information from the body as it ascends to the brain, as well as a major motor output center of the nervous system. It is also a key location for sensory-mot...

It's #fluorescencefriday so here are some lovely TRMP8-expressing cold-sensing sensory neurons in a mouse DRG. DAPI nuclei in green and TRPM8 mRNA in magenta.

1/ 🧠 Excited to share our new preprint:
Convergent state-control of endogenous opioid analgesia
We uncover how cognitive + contextual factors—like injury, fear, and placebo—modulate pain through dynamic opioid signaling in the periaqueductal gray (PAG)
