The study revealed that parvalbumin interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex preferentially encode pain intensity and drive nociceptive-evoked gamma oscillations.
The study suggests that both top-down semantic prediction and bottom-up integration during predictive processing are supported by flexible coupling of frontoparietal regions with control, memory, and sensory systems. This flexible connectivity of higher-order frontoparietal cortex with other brain systems contributes to our efficient language comprehension.
Recent joint research led by Dr. JIANG Yi from Institute of Psychology，Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Institute of Biophysics，CAS has uncovered that the visual systems of both humans and animals can detect life motion from the environment at the earliest stage of visual processing.
