Abstract: Neuropathic pain involves complex cortical mechanisms, yet the role of the medial secondary visual cortex (V2M) remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that glutamatergic neurons in V2M (V2MGlu) contribute to pain modulation and explored their functional… read more here.

Abstract: The characterization of cortical myelination is essential for the study of structure-function relationships in the human brain. However, knowledge about cortical myelination is largely based on post mortem histology, which generally renders direct comparison to… read more here.
