New preprint out from the lab. We identified three critical windows over which sensorimotor behaviours can be shaped. Altered early experience over these windows changes somatosensory and motor outcomes for life. Tour de force experiments by Laura Andreoli. @medresfdn.bsky.social @uclnpp.bsky.social

New preprint out! We developed a behavioural platform for the kinematic analysis of skilled whole body behaviour. Very fun collaboration with Christopher Black, @liamebrowne.bsky.social and Rob Brownstone.

Wondering about the sorts of pain research questions we ask in the lab? See this short video by the Medical Research Foundation on work they generously funded. A reminder that we have a postdoctoral position opening up in the next month! @ucllifesciences.bsky.social @ucl-neurodomain.bsky.social

🔬 @skochlab.bsky.social from @uclnpp.bsky.social is exploring how early life pain shapes the brain’s response to pain in adulthood. 🧠

This Foundation-funded research will help us understand the root causes of #chronicpain and how we can reduce lifelong vulnerabilities in adulthood ⬇️

🚨 Excited to announce that we are hiring 🚨

If bowel disease, pain, & naked mole-rats are your thing then we have the perfect opportunity for you 😃

This ChatGPT image shows a naked mole-rat with visceral pain, but they actually appear resistant #PainResearch

My lab is part of the UCL Medawar Pain and Somatosensory Labs (including @simonbeggslab.bsky.social, Lorenzo Fabrizi, Sandrine Géranton, Maria Fitzgerald and Steve Hunt). It’s brilliant for support, sharing journal clubs, ideas, reagents, etc. Benefits our postdocs and students enormously.
