Somatosensory Cortical Signature of Facial Nociception and Vibrotactile Touch Induced Analgesia
2022-04-15
Abstract excerpt
Pain relief by vibrotactile touch is a common human experience. Previous neurophysiological investigations in animals focused on spinal mechanisms while human studies suggested the involvement of supraspinal mechanisms. Here we asked whether and how the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is involved in touch induced analgesia. We discovered that in mice, vibrotactile reafferent signals from self-generated whisking...
