The seminar is free but registration is required. Register here.
Here is an abstract of the talk from Dr. Kolber
In this seminar, I will provide an overview of the amygdala in the context of both acute/chronic nociception in rodents all the way through to chronic pain maintenance in human patients. Historical data has demonstrated that the amygdala has a bi-directional impact on descending pain control. Recent cell-type specific experiments have provided molecular detail never before possible on the pro- and anti-nociceptive role of the amygdala. Simultaneously, human imaging experiments have provided a structural foundation to interpret molecular findings. This seminar will seek to introduce these data for those new to the amygdala while providing synthesis across studies for experts in the field.
