How does the brain encode pain? Scientists uncover neuronal mechanisms in the cortex
A research team at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) preferentially encode ...

Somatosensory cortex reorganization linked to neuropathic pain
Phantom limb pain following amputation correlates with primary somatosensory cortex (S1) reorganization. Wrigley et al. hypothesized that a similar mechanism underlies persistent neuropathic pain ...
Mapping neuronal IL-1R1 expression reveals insights into brain function
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key molecule involved in inflammation and plays an important role in both healthy and diseased states.

Thermosensory activation of insular cortex
The demonstration that human thermosensory cortex is located in insular cortex, rather than in parietal somatosensory areas, is significant for several reasons. This directly confirms the ...
