Distinct thalamocortical circuits underlie allodynia induced by tissue injury and by depression-like states
X Zhu, HD Tang, WY Dong, F Kang, A Liu, Y Mao… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
In humans, tissue injury and depression can both cause pain hypersensitivity, but whether
this involves distinct circuits remains unknown. Here, we identify two discrete glutamatergic …
