Using [18F]‐SMBT‐1 PET, we longitudinally tracked MAO‐B–expressing reactive astrocytes during orofacial neuropathic pain development in rats, revealing region‐ and time‐specific astrocyte activation during pain chronification. ABSTRACT Chronic neuropathic pain represents a significant global health burden and is hypothesized to be maintained by an ...
