Our very first lab publication! So many emotions!! Very proud of our team, especially Torri Wilson (@tdw1373), Spring Valdivia, and Aleisha Khan (@Leishk1). Looking forward to continue figuring out how the brain controls pain. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Pausing my social media break to share that I got tenure @ NIH! So grateful to everyone that helped me get here. Former/current lab (especially @tdw1373), mentors (especially @robgereau), collaborators, pain research community, letter writers, friends, family, and my amazing son.

@michael_krashes, @ivancedric_a et al. (@NIDDKgov, @NIH) discuss the central mechanisms that dictate #eating behavior, by dissecting the neural circuits involved in food procurement, consumption, & meal termination 🧠🍽️

The experience of pain is more than just physical pain. Dr. Carrasquillo (@YarCarLab) is working to improve diagnosis and treatment for chronic pain & studying how perceived pain can be driven by changes in the nervous system: bit.ly/3iQXU86

"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". Heard this at the African American history museum today. Sad that this resonated so loudly w me 60y later. Hoping we can do better for the next generation of scientists.

Paper of the week: excellent @npp_journal paper of @YarCarLab (1st au Torres-Rodriguez) on the role of parabrachial nucleus to central amygdala projections in sensitization to neuropathic & inflammatory pain but not baseline pain responses in mice

Congrats and thanks to all authors and HUGE shout out to co-first authors Jeitzel Torres-Rodriguez and @tdw1373. Jeitzel was a postbac in my lab and this is her first publication! Great job everyone! I'm proud of you all.

New publication from our lab on the PBN-CeA pathway. Previos studies showed that this pathway does not contribute to somatosensation. We show that this circuit IS critical for somatosenzation but only in pathological pain states.
