Optogenetic Inhibition of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Dysgranular Posterior Insular Cortex Modulates Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in CCI-ION Rat.

In individuals with chronic neuropathic pain, the posterior insular cortex (PIC) has been found to exhibit increased glutamatergic activity, and the dysgranular portion of PIC (DPIC) has been investigated as […]
