Gamma Oscillations in Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex Reflect Pain Perception
Successful behavior requires selection and preferred processing of relevant sensory information. The cortical representation of relevant sensory information has been related to neuronal oscillations in the gamma frequency band. Pain is of invariably high behavioral relevance and, thus, nociceptive stimuli receive preferred processing. Here, by using magnetoencephalography, we show that selectiv...
متن کاملSomatotopy in human primary somatosensory cortex in pain system.
BACKGROUND Compared with somatotopical organization (somatotopy) in the postcentral gyrus in the tactile system, somatotopy in the pain system is not well understood. The aim of this study is to elucidate whether there is somatotopy in the human pain system. METHODS To elucidate the somatotopy of nociceptive neurons in the postcentral gyrus, the authors recorded pain-evoked cortical responses...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملFunctional properties of human primary motor cortex gamma oscillations.
Gamma oscillations in human primary motor cortex (M1) have been described in human electrocorticographic and noninvasive magnetoencephalographic (MEG)/electroencephalographic recordings, yet their functional significance within the sensorimotor system remains unknown. In a set of four MEG experiments described here a number of properties of these oscillations are elucidated. First, gamma oscill...
متن کاملOrganisation of pain in human somatosensory cortex
Converging evidence from experimental, clinical, and neuroimaging data suggests that a number of cortical areas are involved in human pain processing [1, 2, 3]. Among those are the primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortex. With regard to the representation of pain in SI and SII two issues have not been investigated so far: 1. The temporal characteristics of nociceptive processing i...
