Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Xu et al.1 demonstrate that activating GPR37L1, a G-protein-coupled receptor that negatively regulates astrocytes, suppresses the onset and maintenance of neuropathic pain, an intractable chronic pain caused by nerve damage, thereby serving as a therapeutic target.
