The goal of this research is to turn laboratory discoveries into better patient care through: Translating Mechanisms of Orofacial Neurological Disorder
: A growing focus on how non-neuronal cells—such as satellite glial cells and macrophages in the trigeminal ganglion—regulate neuronal excitability and contribute to neuropathic pain. Translating Mechanisms Orofacial Neurological D...
The field focuses on several critical neurological and physiological mechanisms: The goal of this research is to turn
Translating the mechanisms of orofacial neurological disorders involves a complex, interdisciplinary effort to bridge the gap between basic cellular neuroscience and clinical treatment . These disorders, which affect the regions of the face, mouth, and jaws, impact essential functions such as chewing, swallowing, and speech, as well as complex behaviors like verbal and non-verbal communication. Core Research Areas impact essential functions such as chewing
