“In the next stage of the program, we will aim to determine how glycine-PAG neurons communicate with higher brain areas, and investigate their ability to alter pain and anxiety outcomes in chronic pain models.” “Our findings are the result of a strong collaborative effort also involving senior researcher Yo Otsu, PhD student Caitlin Fenech, and lab assistants Nazim Uddin and Rebecca Power.”

The research has been published in the leading scientific journal eNeuro.** The project was made possible with the support of the Ernest Heine Family Foundation and the Pain Foundation. ** N eda Assareh, Caitlin Fenech, Rebecca Power, Mohammad N.
