More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

Phantom Limb Pain [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2015
The prevalence of phantom limb pain is reported to be as high as 85%. In most amputees, the frequency and intensity of pain attacks decrease over the years; however, approximately 5-10% of amputees continue to have severe phantom limb pain. Unfortunately, the current treatment for chronic phantom limb pain is far from satisfactory.

Is Phantom Limb Awareness Necessary for the Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain?

open access: yesNeurologia Medico-Chirurgica
Phantom limb pain is attributed to abnormal sensorimotor cortical representations. Various feedback treatments have been applied to induce the reorganization of the sensorimotor cortical representations to reduce pain.

Contralateral Acupuncture for the Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain and Phantom Limb Sensation in Oncologic Lower Limb Amputee: A Case Report

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Phantom limb pain (PLP) and phantom limb sensation (PLS) are common and distressing sequelae of amputation. Current pain management following amputation is challenging and unsatisfying.

Phantom sensation and quality of life among patients with lower-limb amputations in the region of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesDementia & Neuropsychologia, 2021
. An amputation is an irreversible event that causes social, psychological, and functional consequences that reduces the quality of life of the amputee. Phantom pain generally is reported by 50 to 80% of amputees.

The Tell-Tale Hand: Gothic Narratives and the Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The opening story in Winesburg, Ohio (1919) by Sherwood Anderson is called simply “Hands.” It is about a teacher’s remarkable hands that sometimes seem to move independently of his will.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Interference of unilateral lower limb amputation on motor imagery rhythm and remodeling of sensorimotor areas

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
PurposeThe effect of sensorimotor stripping on neuroplasticity and motor imagery capacity is unknown, and the physiological mechanisms of post-amputation phantom limb pain (PLP) illness remain to be investigated.Materials and methodsIn this study, an ...
