Ventral tegmental area dopaminergic circuits participates in stress-induced chronic postsurgical pain in male mice
Abstract Background Chronic postsurgical pain (CPP) markedly impairs patients’ quality of life. Research has shown that chronic stress may extend incisional nociception in male mice. Dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are integral to stress-related mental disorders (i...
