Symposium on Neural Circuits of Pain

The Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1158 ‘From nociception to chronic pain: Structure-function properties of neural pathways and their reorganization’ is established in Heidelberg, Germany since 2015. Nineteen multidisciplinary projects spanning diverse top-class clinical and basic research institutions make this a remarkably vibrant and comprehensive collaborative center.
Research in this consortium promises to deliver a structural and functional understanding of circuits and networks underlying sensory and affective components of pain and their modulation by circumstances which induce structural reorganization and functional plasticity, including disease states, negative emotions and stress.
The symposium will consist of many scientific talks from external and internal scientists. In this regard, this symposium will focus on discussing strategies for further collaborations, enhancing scientific exchange leading to close interactions.
