Descending locus coeruleus noradrenergic signaling to spinal astrocyte subset is required for stress-induced pain facilitation
Here, we identified a circuit, locus coeruleus descending noradrenergic neurons projecting to the spinal dorsal horn (LC →SDH -NA neurons), that is activated by acute exposure to restraint stress and ...
