Our latest work uses @RAMalgoTheRobot to investigate the role of different somatosensory afferents in pain sensitivity 💢

Our latest work led by @laurmedlock on touch encoding in rodents is out now and featured by @SfNtweets!

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.

Interested in Na+ channels and pain?

Come talk to Stephanie at #SfN2024 about our recent work showing that different Nav channel combinations can yield similar excitability in nociceptors!

🟡 Monday 8-12pm at 165.18

[Laura Medlock, PhD @laurmedlock]

I’m at #SfN2024 presenting my latest work on spinal receptive fields and pain.

We show that spatially and temporally disorganized stimuli preferentially activates inhibition!

Come chat about the implications for therapeutic neuromodulation on Sunday from 1-5pm at 112.01 🤩

[Geoffroy Laumet @GeoffroyLaumet]

First in-person #RitaAllenFoundation meeting since the pandemic! It was fantastic to learn about so much great science and meet so many generous, open-minded people. And a big shout-out to the #PainScholars ! I encourage everyone to apply and join the foundation!

[CAMP @camp_course]

We thank Dr Steven Prescott @PrescottLab for being with us at IISER Pune and sharing his expertise

@RAMalgoTheRobot makes it across the pond! In beautiful Bordeaux for The Neural Circuits of Pain Summer School at @Neuro_Bordeaux. 🤖🧠 #RAMalgoesPlaces @univbordeaux @bdxneuroschool

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

Inconvenient but true… different Nav channel combinations can yield similar excitability in nociceptors ⚡️

Thanks for sharing @KhannaLabUF!

[Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF @KhannaLabUF]

HOWZAT!!!
"Degeneracy makes it impossible to claim w/o reservation that one NaV subtype is uniquely responsible for pathological pain" 🤯

That’s a wrap on #CAN2024! Thanks everyone for stopping by our posters and for the great feedback 👋 @CAN_ACN

[Laura Medlock, PhD @laurmedlock]

I’m presenting on spatiotemporal processing and spinal receptive fields tomorrow at #CAN2024 🔘

Stop by P3-D-439 for a lil’ neural coding!

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

Come visit Yufeng at P2-D-273 to see his latest work with NaV 1.7, 1.8, and 1.3 in nociceptors ⚡️ @CAN_ACN #CAN2024

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

The Prescott Lab is at #CAN2024 in beautiful Vancouver 🏔️

Stop by @Chris_Dedek’s poster today to meet @RAMalgoTheRobot and see our latest work in robotics, machine learning, and pain.

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

If you are interested in @RAMalgoTheRobot for your lab, please get in contact! 🤖

[RAMalgo @RAMalgoTheRobot]

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!

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

Congratulations to the team! Very exciting work.

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

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

Excited to be part of this incredible work by @SpinalCordMark and @VAbraira, out now in @NeuroCellPress! 🎉

https://t.co/dbJYieLmYh

In this work, @laurmedlock uses a network model to show how PV+ inhibitory neurons in the deep dorsal horn gate cutaneous-evoked muscle activity.

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

Check out this great summary of our latest work in @NeuroCellPress on high-frequency #SpinalCordStimulation. ⚡️ Thanks @MCapogrosso and @scott_lempka!

[Marco Capogrosso @MCapogrosso]

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 https://t.co/ySSMcyVTdX

[Prescott Lab @PrescottLab]

@neuronJoy @DanielFelsky @cognemo_andreea @CAMH_KCNI Awesome! Congrats!

[Laura Medlock, PhD @laurmedlock]

Our latest #preprint on touch encoding in rodent mechanoreceptors is out now! 👈
