Does everyone know there is a comment period re: changes in animal research at NIH? I didn't. Closes July 14. The scientific community need to respond en masse. I asked university leadership to distribute to reach our colleagues not on social media, you can too

Central nervous system injury-induced chronic pain affects millions of people. A delayed-onset pain-like response is observed following selective corticospinal lesions. Xiaofei identified a key role for corticospinal control of deep dorsal horn interneurons in pain.

Neuropathic pain-like responses in a chronic CNS injury model are mediated by corticospinal-targeted spinal interneurons
Chronic neuropathic pain is a persistent and debilitating outcome of traumatic central nervous system injury, affecting up to 80% of individuals. Post-injury pain is refractory to treatments due to th...
