Age-dependent plasticity in endocannabinoid modulation of pain processing through postnatal development (2017)
Journal Article
H-T. Kwok, C., Devonshire, I. M., Imraish, A., Greenspon, C. M., Lockwood, S., Fielden, C., …Hathway, G. J. (2017). Age-dependent plasticity in endocannabinoid modulation of pain processing through postnatal development. PAIN, 158(11), 2222-2232. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001027

Significant age and experience-dependent remodelling of spinal and supraspinal neural networks occur resulting in altered pain responses in early life. In adults endogenous opioid peptide and endocannabinoid (ECs) pain control systems exist which mod...

A quantification of the relationship between neuronal responses in the rat rostral ventromedial medulla and noxious stimulation-evoked withdrawal reflexes (2015)
Journal Article
Devonshire, I. M., Kwok, C., Suvik, A., Haywood, A. R., Cooper, A. H., & Hathway, G. (in press). A quantification of the relationship between neuronal responses in the rat rostral ventromedial medulla and noxious stimulation-evoked withdrawal reflexes. European Journal of Neuroscience, 42(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.12942

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) regulates a range of involuntary behaviours but is most often associated with nociception via the action of pronociceptive ON cells and antinociceptive OFF cells. The phasic responses of ON and OFF cells determi...
