      abstract = {The descending pain modulatory pathway exerts  bidirectional control of ongoing nociceptive inputs  traveling from the body to the brain. Despite a large body  of work implicating the vlPAG in pain modulation, the  neuron type specific activation by acute and persistent  inflammation has not been identified. This hypothesis  posits selective MOR expression on GABAergic interneurons,  however, several studies have revealed less targeted MOR  expression, prompting us to determine whether MOR  expression maps onto physiologically distinct neuron  types.},
