Our latest work uses @RAMalgoTheRobot to investigate the role of different somatosensory afferents in pain sensitivity 💢
Quantifying the contribution of somatosensory afferent types and changes therein to pain sensitivity using transcutaneous ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
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
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 🤩
Thanks @CEEA_ACEG for the opportunity to share the USRP program at @UofTEngineering. A bigger thanks to @KilkennyDawn for letting me be a part of this awesome program. 🎉

On route to @CEEA_ACEG in Edmonton! ✈️🏔️ I will be giving a talk on my latest work with @KilkennyDawn at @UofTEngineering on our development of USRP – a support program for Undergraduate Engineers doing summer research at @UofT. #CEEA2024
I’m presenting on spatiotemporal processing and spinal receptive fields tomorrow at #CAN2024 🔘
Stop by P3-D-439 for a lil’ neural coding!

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!

🔬 Check out our study on glycinergic interneurons in the mouse spinal cord, revealing their key role in controlling motor performance by integrating sensory inputs. #Neuroscience #MotorControl
Out now in @NeuroCellPress 👏 Such a pleasure to be included by @SpinalCordMark and @VAbraira on this project. – at Toronto, Ontario
Excited to be part of this incredible work by @SpinalCordMark and @VAbraira, out now in @NeuroCellPress! 🎉

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

Check out this great summary of our latest work in @NeuroCellPress on high-frequency #SpinalCordStimulation. ⚡️ Thanks @MCapogrosso and @scott_lempka!
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 authors.elsevier.com/a/1iZ6Z…
Our latest #preprint on touch encoding in rodent mechanoreceptors is out now! 👈

Many thanks to the huge, collaborative effort from the @PrescottLab that spans (most of) my PhD! 🥳(@Chris_Dedek @AHalawa99 @SickKidsNews @bme_uoft) (1/4)
This #heterogeneity in RA tuning suggests that co-activation patterns play a greater role in #populationcoding in rodents than other dichotomously tuned species. 🐁 (4/4)

20 years ago, Chesler et al. showed that the greatest source of variability in evoked pain responses was the experimenter. This is at the core of poor reproducibility. @chris_dedek built @RAMalgoTheRobot to fix that. 🤖

Our latest #SpinalCordStimulation work from the @PrescottLab is out now in @NeuroCellPress 🥳
Incredible work by @Sagalajev_B and the whole team! I was happy to be included in such a collaborative (and long-anticipated!) project.
Five years in the making and our #SpinalCordStimulation work by @Sagalajev_B and amazing collaborators is finally published @NeuroCellPress! 🤩
