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

ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

The development of visual areas depends differently on visual experience. [PDF]
Visual experience plays an important role in the development of the visual cortex; however, recent functional imaging studies have shown that the functional organization is preserved in several higher-tier visual areas in congenitally blind subjects ...

Contextual signals in visual cortex [PDF]
Vision is an active process. What we perceive strongly depends on our actions, intentions and expectations. During visual processing, these internal signals therefore need to be integrated with the visual information from the retina. The mechanisms of how this is achieved by the visual system are still poorly understood.

Detecting rs‐fMRI Networks in Disorders of Consciousness: Improving Clinical Interpretability
ABSTRACT Background Preserved resting‐state functional MRI (rs‐fMRI) networks are typically observed in Disorders of Consciousness (DOC). Despite the widespread use of rs‐fMRI in DOC, a systematic assessment of networks is needed to improve the interpretability of data in clinical practice.

Human Posterior Parietal Cortex Plans Where to Reach and What to Avoid [PDF]
In this time-resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we aimed to trace the neuronal correlates of covert planning processes that precede visually guided motor behavior.

The Diagnostic Value of Visual Evoked Potentials in Chronic Disorders of Consciousness
ABSTRACT Objective In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful, but some limitations prevent their consistent use in the ...

Enhanced auditory responses in visual cortex of blind rats using intrinsic optical signal imaging
Functional maturation of the visual cortex is induced by visual experiences during critical periods. Blind animals and humans exhibit improved auditory abilities after losing their vision.

Spatial clustering of tuning in mouse primary visual cortex
The primary visual cortex of higher mammals is organized into two-dimensional maps, where the preference of cells for stimulus parameters is arranged regularly on the cortical surface.
