The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

New research reveals this inconsistency may be due to a feedback loop between the thalamus and somatosensory cortex, where thalamic input subtly changes how sensitive cortical neurons are to incoming ...

UNIGE researchers have identified a feedback loop from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex that modulates touch ...

When parts of the nervous system start to break down—or get broken—the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just ...
