The Neuromatrix of Pain with Dr. Trey Vanek
During the February 2024 Pain Science Lecture Series, Dr. Trey Vanek presented his lecture titled, "The Neuromatrix of Pain," which explores how pain signals are processed by the brain. Specifically, he discussed the dynamic interplay between reception, transmission, perception, and modulation of pain.
Dr. Vanek is from Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pittsburgh for his undergraduate studies, earning a degree in Neuroscience. He attended West Virginia University for medical school and residency in Anesthesiology, where he served as the chief resident this past academic year.
