A recent study published in Neuron reveals the long-range circuit underlying nociceptive information processing. This work was performed by the researchers from Dr. Sun Yangang's Lab at the Institute ...

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 pain ...

Pain arises from the activation of specialised sensory receptors—nociceptors—by potentially damaging mechanical, thermal or chemical stimuli. Signals from these receptors travel along Aδ and C fibres ...

EEG neurofeedback as a method to modulate brain activity prior to painful stimulation and examined its effect on pain perception in a well-powered, double-blind study. Results showed that real, but ...

A research team led by Prof. HU Li at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) ...

New statistical models based on rigorous physiological data from more than 100 surgeries provide objective, accurate measures of 'nociception,' the body's subconscious perception of pain. The degree ...

Pain is now viewed as a complex and real experience, shaped by the nervous system's responses. Researchers have discovered ...
