Biography

She is interested in the affective consequences of neuropathic pain. They recently modeled and characterized the affective consequences of neuropathic pain in a preclinical murine model, and demonstrated that these affective consequences evolve and worsen over time. They are currently working on the functional and structural alterations of the central nervous system circuits possibly involved in regulating the emotional consequences of neuropathic pain. Based on the human neuroimaging studies, they are focusing our research on limbic structures such as the anterior cingulate cortex, the amygdala and the hippocampus by using neuronatomical and behavioral approaches as well as genomic and proteomic analyses.
