Transmission of sensory information through the dorsal thalamus involves two types of modality-related nuclei, first order and higher order, between which there are thought to be no intrathalamic ...

Precise spike times carry information and are important for synaptic plasticity. Synchronizing oscillations such as gamma bursts could coordinate spike times, thus regulating information transmission ...

Emotions and expectations can alter sensitivity to pain, as seen in cases of analgesia in response to placebo and anxiety-driven pain exacerbation. This modulation of pain processing is driven by ...
