Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...

Chronic refractory pain syndromes often have a complex natural history and unclear aetiology. Pain may be nociceptive, neuropathic or deafferentation or in some cases, of uncertain origin. Treatment ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion ...

Researchers have uncovered a fast-acting brain network that may determine how effectively deep brain stimulation improves Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease can make everyday movements slow, ...
