Introducing Dr DiDomenico! Another successful thesis defence from the @bannister_lab . We love you Francesca Di Domenico x

Exciting opportunity to join a growing team!!! The group employs ex vivo and in vivo electrophysiological and imaging techniques to explore changes in white matter function during reduced brain blood flow. Seeking a neuroscience enthusiast with experience in electrophysiology!!!

Congratulations to Wolfson SPaRC researchers Dr Martelletti, Dr Ingham and Prof Steel for receiving the PNAS Cozzarelli Biological Sciences Prize for their paper "Reversal of an existing hearing loss by gene activation in Spns2 mutant mice" Read more ⬇️ buff.ly/3VfByOz

Tribute to Thomas Sears, Honorary Visiting Professor at Wolfson SPaRC, who died on 19 February 2024. His work in nerve conduction changed the field of MS, ALS, and spinal cord injury. Our deepest sympathies are with his family, colleagues, & friends. buff.ly/3TGuNTm

Can intra-articular lidocaine differentiate peripheral vs centrally mediated pain in inflammatory arthritis? Check out our recent paper in PAIN Journal A randomised controlled trial of the effect of... : PAIN journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/… @bannister_lab Taams Lab Franziska Denk

Half of people with inflammatory arthritis face significant mental health challenges as early as at diagnosis, negatively affecting their disease outcomes & quality of life. Our study highlights the urgent need for better mental health support. Read more👉tinyurl.com/26s6ek5z

🚨I'm looking for a postdoc! The role will be focused on building computational models of learning and decision-making, and understanding the role of these processes in anxiety Get in touch if you want to know more! See job advert here for details: my.corehr.com/pls/kclrecruit…

Our paper is now out in print in PAIN Journal, and editor's choice for the month 🙌. Re-posting this thread summarising our work 👇🧵

Our team (+Taams Lab ) has been extra-productive: here is another preprint for those of you interested in pain in RA; have you ever wondered about the analgesic effects of JAK inhibitors? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Christopher Buckley British Society for Immunology Pain Centre Versus Arthritis

Farah et al. show that disruption of LGI1 leads to increased pain sensitivity. Mice lacking LGI1 display neuronal hyperexcitability, including enhanced wind-up of spinal neurons, and mechanical hypersensitivity after nerve injury. tinyurl.com/2675vu3r
