Neuropathic pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system is a
common chronic pain condition with major impact on quality of life. Examples include …

Chronic pain can develop from numerous conditions and is one of the most widespread and
disabling health problems today. Unfortunately, the pathophysiology of chronic pain in most …

Pioneering work with nonhuman primates and recent human studies established
intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) as a method of …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of transcranial direct current
stimulation of the motor cortex and techniques of visual illusion, applied isolated or …

The impact of traumatic spinal cord injury on structural integrity, cortical reorganization and
ensuing disability is variable and may depend on a dynamic interaction between the severity …

The most obvious impairments associated with spinal cord injury (SCI) are loss of sensation
and motor control. However, many subjects with SCI also develop persistent neuropathic …

Injuries of peripheral inputs from the body cause sensory dysfunctions that are thought to be
attributable to functional changes in cerebral cortical maps of the body. Prevalent theories …

The homunculus in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is famous for its body part selectivity,
but this dominant feature may eclipse other representational features, eg, information …

Phantom limbs provide valuable insight into the mechanisms underlying bodily awareness
and ownership. This paper reviews the complexity of phantom limb phenomena …

Plastic changes of neural circuits occur after spinal cord injury (SCI) at various level of the
central nervous system. In this review we will focus on delineating the pathophysiological …
