Original: Drs. Emily Mills, Karen Davis at al. discovered that white matter microstructure in the default mode network and mPFC-PAG pathways may predict ketamine's ability to reduce central sensitization in neuropathic pain FREE: jpain.org/article/S1526-…

One of my PhD babies. 🫢👶🏻 Despite ongoing and interesting discussions on (central) sensitization (thanks Diana Torta for the tweet, enjoyed the review by Velasco! 📖), we think that psychophysics can be useful to identify signs of sensitization. Do you agree? Take a look ⬇️

We are proud to welcome our newly recruited CNAP-AAU postdocs to the team: Margit Bach and Laura Sirucek. They will be working on advanced new projects within pain, brain oscillations and non-invasive neuromodulation. We look forward to their contributions to the field.





This week we are strongly represented at the Neuroscience Academy Denmark annual meeting. Sammy Millard, Laura De Herde and T Graven-Nielsen promoted the neuroscience possibilities at CNAP-AAU, AAU SUND, not least the new Brain Neuroadaptability to Pain initiative. Danmarks Grundforskningsfond Lundbeckfonden


Really exciting Neuroscience Academy Denmark session within the Motor and Pain column. Thx to Lasse Christiansen for organising it and brilliant presentations from Mikkel Vestergaard, Mikkel Malling Beck, Laura De Herde, and Anna M. Zamorano 💪


Had a great time during the Neuroscience Academy Denmark meeting and loved hearing more on what is happening in the Motor and Pain column alongside watching Laura De Herde and Anna M. Zamorano present their awesome CNAP-AAU projects! Great work all!🧠🫀🎻


Just heard about bluesky for the first time. 🦋 #boomer 😅 So, pain research people, tell me: is it time to build a community on bluesky? Would IASP, PAIN Journal, The Journal of Pain, etc. join? 🤔 Saw Nature Portfolio … 🕵🏻♀️ #painresearch #goes #bluesky ❓
