Molecular and Functional Characterization of Pyramidal Cell Types in the Frontal Cortex of Mouse Brain
… anterior cingulate cortex is necessary for the affective pain circuitry. Compared to control mice, the Wfs1 silenced mice exhibited a significantly reduced aversion to formalin-paired context in the formalin-conditioned place aversion paradigm but have intact pain sensitivity. Anterior Cingulate …
