Chronic peripheral nerve injuries produce neural changes at different levels of the somatosensory pathway, but these responses remain poorly defined. We selectively removed cutaneous input from the ...

Recent insights into the receptors expressed by sensory neurons are providing the beginnings of a biological basis for designing therapies to block nociceptive information before it reaches the spinal ...

The thalamus sends afferent axons to the cortex where these axons terminate in one of the six lamina of the cortex. Most typically afferent axons terminate in layer IV (Lopez-Bendito & Molnar, 2003).

Carrying out exact movements requires the precise exchange of information between the central nervous system (CNS) and the muscles in the body. In order to achieve a desired movement, limb, motor ...
