White matter reorganization of motor and affective-motivational networks in pain-indifferent carriers of the R221W mutation

The paper identifies structural and functional white matter changes in R221W mutation carriers, suggesting motor under-reactivity rather than sensory insensitivity in congenital insensitivity to pain.

Human endogenous oxytocin and its neural correlates show adaptive responses to social touch based on recent social context

The paper shows that human endogenous oxytocin responses to social touch adapt based on recent social context, influencing both hormonal and neural activity.

Prediction and action in cortical pain processing

The paper investigates how the brain processes predicted pain and action in an fMRI experiment, finding that pain prediction involves regions like ACC and MCC, with MCC activity linked to motor output.

Bodily sensations in social scenarios: Where in the body?

The paper maps bodily activation and deactivation in social scenarios using emBODY, showing correlations with basic emotions and providing insights into how social experiences are felt physically.

A congenital pain insensitivity mutation in the nerve growth factor gene uncouples nociception from affective pain in heterozygous humans and mice

This study investigates how congenital pain insensitivity in heterozygous humans and mice affects affective pain responses, finding dissociated effects on learned fear and neural processing.
