Assistant Professor @UTSW. Interested in neuroscience of pain, pain relief and innate motivations.
Thrilled to share the latest pre-print from the lab – TLDR: we identified the (near) full ascending spinal projection neuron repertoire that gives rise to central itch/touch/pain/temperature sensation as well as sex specific neuron types in the mouse spinal cord. Thread below (1/n):
Deep Cellular and Spatial Profiling of the Mouse Spinal Cord Reveals Sex-Specific Neuron Types and the Ascending Projection Neuron Repertoire
The spinal cord gives rise to central somatosensation and orchestrates autonomic and motor control. How its cellular diversity achieves functions across sex, longitudinal axis and links the spinal cor...

Spinal cell types are intensely studied yet poorly understood.
TOMORROW at #SfN25 - Join us for a minisymposium on efforts to characterize & annotate spinal cellular diversity & therapeutically address spinal neural classes.

Swing by the @allanhpool.bsky.social lab posters this morning. Satoshi Ishishita and Liliana Cano Gomez are sharing our latest work on characterizing and dissecting the spinal cord ascending projectome.

Join us on Wednesday afternoon for an @sfn.org minisymposium on the Cellular Structure of the Spinal Cord. We have updates from cell-type annotation and new anatomical atlases,
to cell-type resolved projectomes, pan-mammalian nomenclatures and emerging cell-type targeted therapeutic avenues.

Exciting collaboration with @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social lab and lead authors Katherin Gabriel and @oliviadavis.bsky.social! First description of sexually dimorphic glial cell classes in the human spinal cord, deep dive into genes driving cross-species cellular differences and much more.
The latest work from our PRECISION Human Pain Center project is now up on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social led by Katherin Gabriel and @oliviadavis.bsky.social with a huge contribution from @allanhpool.bsky.social's lab and, of course, the Southwest Transplant Alliance: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A molecular map of the human spinal dorsal and ventral horn defines arrangement of neuronal types and glial sex differences
The spinal cord is the gateway for sensory information from the body as it ascends to the brain, as well as a major motor output center of the nervous system. It is also a key location for sensory-mot...
