Patrick L. Sheets studies how pain, especially chronic and nerve-injury pain, changes the activity of specific brain circuits. His work uses mouse models and electrophysiology (measuring the electrical signals of neurons) to examine regions like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala that shape how the brain processes pain and related emotional responses. He also investigates how specific drug targets and neuron types might be used to treat pain.
Publication activity was highest around 2018-2020 and has been somewhat lower but steady in recent years, averaging about two papers per year over the last five years.
