My first paper with @CNAP_AAU is out!
Does pain have an effect in homeostatic plasticity ? 👇….and more in this line coming soon 🫡

An early christmas gift this year.🎇👊 New grant from @DFF_raad Forskningsprojekt1 on neuroplasticity and pain to @MegasaurusPheet and @gravennielsen @GrundforskFond @aausund @dkforsk

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

A nice new @PAINthejournal review from @head_like_egg shows that central sensitization questionnaires do not capture pain sensitivity test responses, but I'm left wondering if either actually measure "central sensitization"? 🤔 https://t.co/ozjl95ae9T

@daniel_ciampi Congratulations @daniel_ciampi 🥳 An incredible achievement! 🤩

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

@micahgallen The only project I’ve ever worked on with a reinforcement learning paradigm used a chequerboard. We planned to use fractal images, but found out that a chequerboard was easier to program in. 😅 It worked fine as far as I can tell 🤷🏼‍♀️🙃

Reflecting on a nice @CNAP_AAU annual seminar yesterday 🤓 Such a variety of exciting topics and methods all being implemented under one roof! Thanks for a great day all 👏🏻 @GravenNielsen @RoccoGiordano11 @BrianDuborg @Montelezzi @FromPhDtoLife @daniel_ciampi @Enrico78520717

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Great presentation on mechanisms underlying chronic pain induced depression from Ipek Yalcin and wrapping up with some very intriguing insights into TMS-EEG and it’s potential utility from Mario Rosanova & Enrico de Martino 🙌🏻🤓 @CNAP_AAU

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Back for day 2 of the Translational Neurobiology of the Pain System XXVII course @CNAP_AAU starting off talking about pain in Parkinson’s with @daniel_ciampi

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Super interesting presentations on possible mechanisms explaining comorbidity between pain and Parkinson’s from @bannister_lab and on managing comorbid pain and depression from @hedvigze 👏🏻

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

@bannister_lab @CNAP_AAU Thanks Kirsty! On the fly, of course 🤓 Not enough hours in the day for me to take notes twice 😅

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Day one of the XXVII Translational Biology of the Pain System course @CNAP_AAU and my black notebook is back in business #painresearch #painclassification 🤓👍🏻

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Lots of great discussion today 🤓 @CNAP_AAU

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

@HarperOfScience @JTigerholm - maybe you can help here? 😅

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

@HarperOfScience Tough critique! 😅 I get excited by all the work coming on interoceptive processes. I feel like studying the predictive brain is getting us closer to understanding pain, not just nociception. Though understanding nociception and it’s central modulation has surely helped, no? 🤔

Let‘s get this last day at #IASP2022 rolling! 🏎

Curious about glutamate/GABA concentrations in the periaqueductal grey of patients with chronic low back pain? 🧠

Stop by my poster Nr. 165 between 9.30 and 10.45 to have a chat about it! 💬

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

Thanks @IASPpain and @CNAP_AAU for the opportunity to still present at #IASP2022 despite being unable to make it to Toronto! 🙌🏻 Totally starstruck to be talking alongside Paul and David 🤩 Hope to see everyone again in person at the next congress!

[CNAP-AAU @CNAP_AAU]

Brilliant talks by everyone, what an excellent and well-planned workshop! Great that @MegasaurusPheet can join us online for the Q/A! #IASP2022 @CNAP_AAU

[Pain in Motion @PaininMotion]

But what is the relevance for clinical practice? Adjust therapy approaches to the predominant pain phenotype! Great session including recent literature on this topic by @MegasaurusPheet @paulwhodges @GravenNielsen and David Walsh @ #IASP2022 4/4

[Dennis Boye Larsen @dennisboye87]

On the trait- and state-like features of pain sensitivity and mechanisms of pain in LBP - what a talk! 👏 #IASP2022 @CNAP_AAU

[CNAP-AAU @CNAP_AAU]

Brilliant talks by everyone, what an excellent and well-planned workshop! Great that @MegasaurusPheet can join us online for the Q/A! #IASP2022 @CNAP_AAU

[Megan McPhee @MegasaurusPheet]

@LauraSirucek @GravenNielsen @paulwhodges Loved reading your recent PAIN paper on DNIC v CPM v descending pain inhibition - really got me thinking, so thank you for that! 🤓 Hope to chat in person next time! 🤞🏻
