This NIH grant supports research investigating the impact of neonatal injury on spinal pain circuits and astrocyte plasticity to understand chronic pain mechanisms.
Description
The research aims to understand how neonatal tissue damage affects the development of spinal nociceptive circuits and contributes to chronic pain in adulthood, focusing on astrocyte plasticity and their role in pain circuit rewiring.
