How does the cerebral cortex process social pain?

Aug 17, 2021 ... In the present study we applied a precise, rapid and reversible inhibition approach to examine the contribution of the cerebral cortex to defensive behaviours. The thalamus receives somatosensory information and conveys it to the primary somatosensory cortex in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe. Other ... Feb 10, 2025 ... This research shows that the cerebral cortex is continuously detecting novel stimuli, in order to change and improve its predictions of the future. A key aspect of nervous system development, including that of the cerebral cortex, is the formation of higher-order neural networks. L-Glutamate and norepinephrine are examples of a major excitatory neurotransmitter and a neuromodulator in the cerebral cortex, respectively. Aug 16, 2010 ... Cholinergic inputs from the basal forebrain to the neocortex and hippocampus have a key role in mechanisms of arousal, attention, ... Apr 1, 2012 ... The cerebrum, the largest part of the human brain, is associated with higher order functioning, including the control of voluntary behavior. It has a broad range of functions including perception and awareness of sensory information, planning, and initiation of motor activity. It also plays a key ... The cerebral cortex of the brain has four lobes, each with distinct functions. ... The frontal lobe also contains the primary motor cortex, the major region ... Jun 6, 2023 ...
