A really interesting paper from @drvinkopalada.bsky.social and colleagues for figuring out where to focus our intervention. If my patients mostly have nocturnal symptoms, which one would you use?
🎉 Excited to share that our latest research has been accepted for publication in Anesthesiology!
Both #pregabalin and #morphine relieve #pain in mice with #neuropathic pain, but only pregabalin stabilises REM #sleep, sleep #spindles and #circadian #rhythms.

Differential Effects of Pregabalin and Morphine on the Sleep-Wake Cycle and Circadian Rhythms in Mice with Neuropathic Pain - PubMed
Pregabalin, unlike morphine, restores SNI-disrupted sleep architecture, circadian rhythms, and spinal circadian gene expression.

Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so

A feature in Nature explores how research into developing ways to probe layers of consciousness in the human brain could inform how scientists search for awareness in all its possible forms. 🧪

After completing my PhD, I'm embarked on a new journey of learning and growth. I'm eager to dive into the basic science and solidify my foundation as a future translational researcher. Since July, spending a few months at KU Leuven for that! We are continuing the active search for a PostDoc!

Revisiting the updated NeuPSIG guideline, I’m struck by how often efficacy is isolated from harm. With poor AE reporting and short follow-ups, NNHs fall short. RCTs must improve how harms are measured to truly guide neuropathic pain care. www.thelancet.com/action/showP...
