Funded Activity Summary

Inhibitory nerve cells in the spinal cord are thought to play an important role in governing the interaction between painful and non-painful stimuli. Defects in this process underlie allodynia, an important symptom of neuropathic pain. We will use recent advances in genetic techniques (optogenetics) to manipulate and study how inhibitory nerve cells separate touch and pain signalling in the spinal cord of normal and neuropathic animals.
