Research Summary
Dr. Coderre's laboratory is interested in
understanding the mechanisms underlying nociceptive plasticity in spinal cord
and brain important for the transition from acute to persistent pain. Currently,
investigations are assessing the role of protein kinase M-zeta in the
maintenance of neuronal pain memory traces, and the contribution of nuclear
metabotropic glutamate receptors to persistent pain. Additional research is
aimed at developing animal models of chronic pain to provide a basis for
mechanism- based therapeutic treatments. Currently, investigations are examing
the role of microvascular dysfunction in animal models of complex regional pain
syndrome and painful diabetic neuropathy.
