NIH grant awarded to University of California, San Diego for research on neuromodulatory control of placebo-like analgesia, focusing on opioid neuropeptides and dopamine in mouse models to develop pain therapies.

### Description

This is a NIH grant award for research on placebo analgesia involving neuromodulators such as opioid neuropeptides and dopamine, using mouse models. The project aims to identify the timing of neuropeptide release, measure and manipulate dopamine signaling, and explore opioid-dopamine interactions to develop potential therapies for pain management.
