Migraine is not just a headache. It’s the 2nd leading cause of disability- especially in women.

Our latest blog breaks down how hormones, life stages, and neurobiology shape migraine in women, with insights from Dr. Mona Ghadiri-Sani.

Excited to share my first article with ⁦@WomeninNeuroUK⁩ for Pain Awareness Month!

2024 is the ‘Global Year About Sex and Gender Disparities in Pain 🌍’, but what do we already know about the differences in pain perception and modulation? https://t.co/4VXR0EBB0G

[Laboratory Animal Science Association (LASA) @LASA_UK]

Our next talk from Neave Smith from @UniofNottingham is all about how we can not just refine electrophysiology methods, but reduce the number of animals used through the development of new techniques

These new methods will improve how we research chronic pain

Last week the @nottm_bbsrc_dtp students went on a boat trip & we had a fantastic evening! Jess, @RBrociek & I organised the event for a second year to encourage networking across the DTP & it was a great success! I’m so proud of us for organising it & can’t wait for next year!🛥️

Conference may have been last week but we're still talking about it over here. Check out this highlights video from two of our first year students, Amy and Neave, and follow them @nottsneurogals over on TikTok for similar content 👏
