Descending locus coeruleus noradrenergic signaling to spinal astrocyte subset is required for stress-induced pain facilitation
aim to examine the mechanisms by which stress can modulate pain in mice. They focus on the contribution of noradrenergic neurons (NA) of the locus coeruleus (LC). The authors use acute restraint ...
