This study investigates the relationship between the endocannabinoid system and pain sensitivity in humans using quantitative sensory testing, finding no significant associations overall but a specific link between FAAH substrates and pressure pain thresholds.

This study investigates the thermal grill illusion (TGI) and finds it elicits primary hyperalgesia in males and secondary hyperalgesia in all participants, suggesting spinal dorsal horn integration and involvement of HPC neurons.

This study identifies the claustrum as a key initiator of task-dependent network states in cognitive control using fMRI and structural connectivity analyses.

The paper identifies pathological claustrum activity and its influence on cognitive network processing in chronic pain patients.
