Episode 6: Neurobiology of Pain - Exploring Neuropeptides with Dr. James Henry

Chronic Pain Chronicles with Dr Karmy

In this episode, Dr Karmy is joined by Dr. James Henry, a pioneering expert in the field, where they dive deep into the neurobiology of pain.
Trained at McGill University and with a distinguished career spanning Western University and McMaster's Michael De Groote Pain Center, Dr. Henry brings a wealth of knowledge on the role of neuropeptides in chronic pain.
Join in on their conversation, as they explore how pain signals travel through the nervous system, the discovery and function of substance P, and the intricate interplay between the nervous and immune systems. They also discuss the challenges and limitations of translating animal model research to human chronic pain treatment.
This episode is a must-list for anyone interested in the cutting-edge science behind pain management.
