麦戈文脑科学研究所学术报告

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

Host: Dr. Yulong Li

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  Specifically, I will talk three unpublished stories during this seminar: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.
