How does our nervous system encode sensation, perception and behavior during pain?
Our lab studies the neural circuits that shape pain with a particular focus on how they change in pathological states. We are interested in how sensory information is represented across the nervous system, how internal and behavioral states influence pain experience, and how persistent changes can transform pain from a protective sensation into a chronic condition.
We aim to uncover the mechanisms that drive pathological pain and identify new avenues for treatment.
