Thanks Anika - Key takeaways are the differences in activation levels in autonomic nervous system regulating hypothalamic nuclei in response to a noxious heat stimulus in people with CRPS - this could represent a CNS mediated changed in regulation of the sympathetic system in CRPS, driving symptoms.

🧠💥 Our new migraine study reveals phase-specific peripheral immune signatures-especially in the preictal period-marked by platelet–neutrophil aggregation, immune cell activation, and MMP-9 expression. So is migraine as a neuroimmune disorder? @jaydenobrien.bsky.social

A recent WIMR-led study has used a new technique to explain how a vaccine adjuvant, an immune stimulant called AS01, activates the immune response in human lymph nodes.
