Identifying Dorsal Horn Circuits for Persistent Mechanical Pain with DREADDs

Nice paper here in Neuron today as well as commentary.

One of interesting tidbits (for me at least) was that apparently DREADD technology is so widely used that the authors no longer cite any papers (or reviews) to it as a technology--I guess this means anyone will know what they mean....
