Popis: Maladaptive plastic changes in the brain are critical for pain maintenance. The authors identify a nigro–subthalamo–parabrachial pathway and reveal that reversing a series of neuronal and synaptic malfunctions in this pathway in acute and chronic pain mitigates hyperalgesia, providing potential therapeutic targets for pain modulation.
