Out now in @SfNJournals! 👋 Our latest work on touch and vibration sensing in rodent mechanoreceptors. A beautiful experimental and modelling collaboration thanks to Dhekra Al-Basha, @Chris_Dedek, @AHalawa99 and the whole @PrescottLab team. jneurosci.org/content/44/46/…

HOWZAT!!! "Degeneracy makes it impossible to claim w/o reservation that one NaV subtype is uniquely responsible for pathological pain" 🤯 @eLife: Similar excitability through different NaV channels & implications for analgesic efficacy of selective drugs doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

This just in: There are better ways to perform nociceptive behaviour tests! Read the latest @_TheTransmitter article highlighting the importance of reducing variability, including our work in the @PrescottLab! thetransmitter.org/methods/robots…

1. Excited to share our improvement of pain testing in rodents. No more back-breaking inconsistent poking of mouse paws. We present the ARM (Automated Reproducible Mechano-stimulator). 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Together with an Evan Roger and @scott_lempka we published today a preview to the beautiful work from @PrescottLab detailing the effects of High-Frequency spinal cord stimulation on sensory axons! We need more of these works in the field! #neurotech authors.elsevier.com/a/1iZ6Z3BtfH99…
