Research summary
AI-generated

Katherine A. Mifflin studies pain, particularly how sex differences and physical activity (such as voluntary exercise) influence pain-related behaviors and disease progression in animal models of autoimmune and neurological conditions like experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (an animal model of multiple sclerosis). Her work also examines how neurotransmitter and neurosteroid levels, as well as certain antidepressant drugs, affect pain signaling in the spinal cord. This research aims to better understand chronic pain mechanisms in autoimmune and nervous system disorders.
