Research environment

Håkan Olausson and Saad Nagi’s research groups study the peripheral mechanisms of human somatosensation. The primary technique is microneurography – recording from single peripheral neurons in awake human participants. This is complemented by other neurophysiological and psychophysical methods to explore the link between sensory neuron activity, perception, and behavior in both health and disease. The research environment is diverse, collegial, and supportive.

Research project

This project explores how peripheral sensory neurons contribute to pain in inflammation using microneurography, targeted pharmacology, psychophysics, and nociceptive withdrawal reflex measurements. With a strong translational focus, it will involve close collaboration with research groups at the Karolinska Institute. The findings will have clinical relevance for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In the project, the scholar will obtain qualifications within among others

Design, acquisition, and analysis of single-unit afferent recordings using microneurography

Design, acquisition, and analysis of psychophysical experiments on touch and pain

Design, acquisition, and analysis of nociceptive withdrawal reflex experiments
