# de la Torre-Martinez Lab

> Neuroscience research laboratory studying brain circuits for sensory and pain processing using mouse models, based at IDiBE — University Miguel Hernández in Elche, Spain.

The de la Torre-Martinez Lab (dlTM Lab) investigates how the brain processes sensory information and pain signals. The lab uses advanced techniques including electrophysiology, optogenetics, calcium imaging, and computational neuroscience to understand the neuronal circuits underlying somatosensation and chronic pain conditions. Research focuses on identifying molecular and cellular mechanisms of neuroplasticity in persistent pain, as well as neuronal circuits for top-down pain modulation.
