Recent research has linked bodily self-consciousness to the processing and integration of
multisensory bodily signals in temporoparietal, premotor, posterior parietal and extrastriate …

Non-invasive functional brain imaging is used more than ever to investigate pain in health
and disease, with the prospect of finding new means to alleviate pain and improve patient …

The sense of proprioception allows us to keep track of our limb posture and movements and
the sense of touch provides us with information about objects with which we come into …

Pain is a conscious experience, crucial for survival. To investigate the neural basis of pain
perception in humans, a large number of investigators apply noxious stimuli to the body of …

Functional neuroimaging studies in humans have shown that nociceptive stimuli elicit
activity in a wide network of cortical areas commonly labeled as the “pain matrix” and …

We review many of the recent findings concerning mechanisms and pathways for pain and
its modulation, emphasizing sensitization and the modulation of nociceptors and of dorsal …

Neurons in area la of the posterior parietal cortex of monkeys respond to both the retinal
location of a visual stimulus and the position of the eyes and by combining these signals …

Sensory stimuli undergoing sudden changes draw attention and preferentially enter our
awareness. We used event-related functional magnetic-resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify …

The monkey mesial area 6 comprises two distinct cytoarchitectonic areas: F3
[supplementary motor area properly defined (SMA‐proper)], located caudally, and F6 (pre …

The orbitofrontal cortex (OfC) is a heterogeneous prefrontal sector selectively connected
with a wide constellation of other prefrontal, limbic, sensory and premotor areas. Among the …
