Central nervous system plasticity associated with pain in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, and the antinociceptive effects of the antidepressant phenelzine
DownloadFall 2017
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive disease that involves neuroinflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration within the central nervous system (CNS). While loss of motor function and paralysis are considered the primary clinical consequences of MS, the disease is also...

McKenzie, Brienne Alexandra Furfaro
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive and incurable demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The neuropathogenesis of MS and its prototypic animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), is defined by persistent neuroinflammation, involving the activation of...

The overarching idea of this thesis stemmed from previous work in our lab, where it was noticed that females and males exhibited different disease trajectories in a model of Multiple Sclerosis. Combined with our observation of different outcome metrics for peripheral nociception suggested that...

The glutamate transporters' role in neuropathic pain and cognitive deficits in an animal model of multiple sclerosis
DownloadFall 2013
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination, inflammation and axonal injury. Chronic pain and cognitive deficits affect a large percentage of MS patients. While a number of animal models are available to study the pathophysiology of...

The immune system interacts reciprocally with the nervous system in order to accomplish facets of innate immunity via various mechanisms including toll-like receptors (TLRs). TLR activity leads to the release of cytokines which can effect acute and chronic pain states by promoting afferent neuron...
