Research discovery: Certain cells in the brainstem are responsible for transmitting signals of chronic pain. They could potentially serve as biomarkers for chronic pain or even an “off switch.”

Diseases affected: chronic pain

Researchers at @upenn.edu have identified that Y1 receptor-expressing #neurons in the brainstem’s lateral parabrachial nucleus are associated with #chronicpain. This suggests possibilities for future biomarkers and treatments. #Brainsky

Matt began showing signs of neuropathy. He and his wife, Cassie, faced fear and uncertainty.

"Please join us in supporting the Foundation – I find hope in their work and hope you do, too." –Cassie
