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 ...

Reduced habituation in response to somatosensory stimulation in fibromyalgia
In healthy controls, ERP amplitudes in response to the somatosensory and auditory S2 stimuli were markedly lower than those in response to S1 stimuli, which indicated (as expected) habituation in ...
