PRE-INJURY MECHANORECEPTOR ABLATION REDUCES NOCICEPTOR-DRIVEN SPINAL CORD INJURY-INDUCED NEUROPATHIC PAIN

Christopher Sliwinski, Laura Heutehaus, Francisco José Taberner, Lisa Weiss, Vasileios Kampanis, Bahardokht Tolou-Dabbaghian, Xing Cheng, Melanie Motsch, Paul A. Heppenstall, Rohini Kuner, Steffen Franz, Stefan G. Lechner, Norbert Weidner, Radhika Puttagunta

This study investigates the role of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain, finding that early mechanoreceptor ablation reduces pain behavior, while nociceptor hyperexcitability and sprouting are key drivers of pain.

Intermediate Gray Matter Interneurons in the Lumbar Spinal Cord Play a Critical and Necessary Role in Coordinated Locomotion

Naëmi Kuehn, Andreas Schwarz, Carlo A. Beretta, Yvonne Schwarte, Francesca Schmitt, Melanie Motsch, Norbert Weidner, Radhika Puttagunta

This study shows that damaging intermediate gray matter in the lumbar spinal cord of rats causes long-term locomotor deficits, with machine learning confirming the link to interneuronal loss.
