Neurogenesis in the adult brain functionally contributes to the maintenance of chronic neuropathic pain

Abstract Maladaptive adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain has been associated with diverse behaviors including disrupted learning, negative mood disorders and psychiatric conditions. However, its functional role in the generation and maintenance of chronic pathological pain has not yet been elu...
