A nigro–subthalamo–parabrachial pathway modulates pain-like behaviors

Maladaptive plastic changes in the brain are critical for pain maintenance. The authors identify a nigro–subthalamo–parabrachial pathway and reveal that reversing a series of neuronal and synaptic malfunctions in this pathway in acute and chronic pain mitigates hyperalgesia, providing potential ther...

description Maladaptive plastic changes in the brain are critical for pain maintenance. The authors identify a nigro–subthalamo–parabrachial pathway and reveal that reversing a series of neuronal and synaptic malfunctions in this pathway in acute and chronic pain mitigates hyperalgesia, providing potential therapeutic targets for pain modulation.
