Runx1, a Runt domain transcription factor, controls the differentiation of nociceptors that express the neurotrophin receptor Ret, regulates the expression of many ion channels and receptors, and controls the lamina-specific innervation pattern of nociceptive afferents in the spinal cord. Moreover, mice lacking Runx1 exhibit specific defects in thermal and neuropathic pain. We investigated whether conditional activation of Runx1 short isoform (Runx1a), which lacks a transcription activation domain, influences differentiation of neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) in vitro and in vivo during development and whether postnatal Runx1a activation affects the sensitivity to neuropathic pain.

The department of Neuroscience was founded in 2001, resulting from a merger between the Physiology and Anatomy department. In 2008, the BNT department joined forces. At present we consist of about 150 people. Our research is dedicated to Plasticity and Dynamics of Sensori-Motor Systems, which we investigate at the physiological, anatomical end molecular level in 18 different research groups. We have teaching responsibilities within the whole bachelor's phase of the medical curriculum at the Erasmus MC, teaching both basic anatomy and physiology, as well as neuroscience. The department hosts its own Master of Neuroscience program. The department of Neuroscience is embedded in the ONWAR, Helmholtz, and MGC research school
