Amplified parabrachial nucleus activity in a rat model of trigeminal neuropathic pain

The parabrachial (PB) complex mediates both ascending nociceptive signaling and descending pain modulatory information in the affective/emotional pain pathway. We hypothesized that PB hyperactivity influences chronic pain behavior after trigeminal nerve injury in rats. Following induction of neuropa...
