Yet the extraordinary reality of painful phantom limbs indicates that this notion is wrong. The brain does more than detect and analyse sensory inputs; it creates perceptual experience even in the absence of external inputs. We do not need a body to feel a body or a physical injury to ...
Nociceptors have the ability to convey information to the brain that indicates the location, nature, and intensity of the pain. For example, stepping on a nail sends an information-packed message to the brain: the foot has experienced a puncture wound that hurts a lot....

Research has been conducted investigating the neuronal pathways responsible for the generation of chronic neuropathic pain, including the components of it in conditions such as chronic post-surgical pain, phantom limb pain, and cluster headaches. Forming part of the management of such conditions, capsai...
Conclusions Evidence regarding the capacity for fetal pain is limited but indicates that fetal perception of pain is unlikely before the third trimester. Little or no evidence addresses the effectiveness of direct fetal anesthetic or analgesic techniques. Similarly, limited or no data exist on the saf...
Mirror therapy (MT) has been shown to be effective for motor recovery of the upper limb after a stroke. The cerebral mechanisms of mirror therapy involve the precuneus, premotor cortex and primary motor cortex. Activation of the precuneus could be a mark
This indicates that the observed data are respectively 4.29 and 4.27 times more likely under the null-hypothesis that postulates no difference in illusion strength between the two induction methods than under the alternative hypothesis that postulates that one induction method leads to a stronger ...
Miss Bellringer, her eccentric spinster friend, believes Emily was murdered; and an autopsy indicates that hemlock was introduced into her glass of wine. Soon enough, Mrs. Rainbird, mother of the village undertaker, is also murdered. Aided by the boorish, small-minded Sgt. Troy, Detective ...
Phantom limb sensation Tinnitus mechanisms 1. Introduction Despite the prevalence of tinnitus in the general population, the mechanisms that produce this sometimes devastating sensation are still not satisfactorily understood and there is no broadly effective way to treat it [1]. Some researchers have ...
It is precisely because of the widely activated autoimmune response in his body that various autoimmune antibodies are present. So GM1 may potentially modify clinical presentation. Research indicates that Stiff Person Syndrome Spectrum Disorders (SPSD) can coexist with other autoimmune diseases and there...
