Peter Gilgan Centre for Research & Learning

The Peter Gilgan Centre for Research & Learning in Toronto focuses on uncovering the biophysical and computational basis of pain, aiming to understand how the nervous system processes pain-related sensory information and the mechanisms behind chronic pain. Their multidisciplinary approach integrates electrophysiology, calcium imaging, optogenetics, computational simulations, and mathematical analysis to explore the complexities of neural information processing.

Affiliated with the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto, the center emphasizes the nonlinear dynamics of pain processing, recognizing that the pain system operates as a complex network rather than a simple sum of its parts. Their research seeks to deepen theoretical understanding of pain under both normal and pathological conditions, contributing valuable insights to the field of neuroscience.
