A parabrachial hub for need-state control of enduring pain - Nature
Activity in a set of parabranchial neurons in the mouse brain is increased during chronic pain, predicts coping behaviour, and can be modulated by circuits activated by survival threats.

#introduction My name is Albert Chen and I am an investigator at the Scintillon Institute in San Diego. Research in our lab aims to define the molecular, anatomical, and functional distinctions of neuronal subpopulations in the #cerebellum important for motor control and complex motivated behaviors.
