Very happy to see this long and amazing project being ready to see the world, and personally a reminder of a great time with fantastic scientist in Sweden and a very interdisciplinary team!
Not all pain is created equal: stepping on a nail feels different from a stomachache. We know there are many nociceptor types, but a key question remains: how is mechanical pain encoded across the body by those sensory neurons? Our new work helps answer this. 1/8

Hierarchical organization of mechano-nociceptive pathways revealed by activity labeling
Noxious mechanical stimuli give rise to distinct percepts, from sharp cutaneous pain to diffuse visceral discomfort, yet the nociceptor ensembles that underlie these differences remain poorly defined....

Very happy to see this published! Congrats to all this great team!
New paper alert from the lab! In our latest study, we explore how CA3 and the entorhinal cortex (EC) differentially contribute to hippocampal ripple dynamics. www.cell.com/iscience/pdf...

I really think one of the best things about science is the people you meet along the way. Thanks @mbrodzki.bsky.social,Gabriela, Leandro, Christoffer and Felipe!Especially thanks to @szczotml.bsky.social and Ilona,I really enjoyed all our discussions!
Now, I'm very excited about what's coming next!
