Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals ...

New research reveals this inconsistency may be due to a feedback loop between the thalamus and somatosensory cortex, where thalamic input subtly changes how sensitive cortical neurons are to incoming ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

This country—left in darkness, hungry, thirsty, sad, and hopeless—is the result of the PCC's inability to regenerate.

UNIGE researchers have identified a feedback loop from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex that modulates touch ...

This study provides novel and convincing evidence that both dopamine D1 and D2 expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens shell are crucial for the expression of cue-guided action selection, a ...
