Brain oscillations differentially encode noxious stimulus intensity and pain intensity [PDF]
, 2017 Noxious stimuli induce physiological processes which commonly translate into pain. However, under certain conditions, pain intensity can substantially dissociate from stimulus intensity, e.g. during longer-lasting pain in chronic pain syndromes.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Affects Pain Perception in Depressed Adults
Pain Research and Management, 2005 BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects pain perception in epilepsy patients, with acute VNS decreasing pain thresholds and chronic VNS treatment increasing pain thresholds.

LTP-like cortical plasticity predicts conversion to dementia in patients with memory impairment
Brain Stimulation, 2020 Background: New diagnostic criteria consider Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a clinico-biological entity identifiable in vivo on the presence of specific patterns of CSF biomarkers. Objective: Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the

Towards a computational model for stimulation of the Pedunculopontine nucleus [PDF]
, 2009 The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has recently been suggested as a new therapeutic target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, particularly those with severe gait and postural impairment [1].

Association between cognitive performance and cortical glucose metabolism in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Neuronal and synaptic function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is measured in vivo by glucose metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET). Objective: We hypothesized that neuronal activation as measured by PET is a more sensitive index of

Neural correlates of finger gnosis [PDF]
, 2014 Neuropsychological studies have described patients with a selective impairment of finger identification in association with posterior parietal lesions. However, evidence of the role of these areas in finger gnosis from studies of the healthy human brain ...

Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 Electrical or magnetic stimulation methods for brain or nerve modulation have been widely known for centuries, beginning with the Atlantic torpedo fish for the treatment of headaches in ancient Greece, followed by Luigi Galvani’s experiments with frog legs in baroque Italy, and leading to the interventional use of brain stimulation methods across ...

Neurosurgery for Psychopaths? An Ethical Analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Recent developments in neuroscience have inspired proposals to perform deep brain stimulation on psychopathic detainees. We contend that these proposals cannot meet important ethical requirements that hold for both medical research and therapy.
