IDG McGovern Institute for Brain Research seminar
Topic: Functional Organization, Behavior, and Circuits Related to Mammalian Pain and Touch Sensing Neurons
Speaker: Wenqin Luo, M.D, Ph.D (University of Pennsylvania)
Time: 10:00-11:30, Mon., Aug. 8, 2016
Location: R1113, Wangkezhen Building, PKU
Abstract:
Mammalian pain and touch sensing neurons are primary sensory neurons mediating pain/itch/temperature and gentle touch/vibration sensation. My lab is interested at different biological questions related to these neurons/pathways and their crosstalk in normal and pathological conditions. Specifically, I will talk three unpublished stories during this seminar:
1. A new functional organization of MrgD+ non-peptidergic nociceptors
2. High speed imaging to differentiate mouse paw reflex in response to pain or touch stimulation.
3. Early RET+ deep spinal cord inhibitory interneurons in “gating” pain.
Welcome！
