Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) across cortical brain areas appears to improve various forms of pain, yet evidence of tDCS efficiency and ideal stimulation target is lacking. This study aime...
Does the Brain Regulate the Immune System?While long considered to be separate entities,increasing evidence has demonstrated that thebrain and theperipheral immune system interact through bidirectional feedback[1].The...

People as third-party observers,without direct self-interest,may punish norm violators to maintain social norms.However,third-party judgment and the follow-up punishment might be susceptible to the way we frame(i.e.,v...
BACKGROUND Over the past decade,resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rsfMRI)has concentrated on brain networks such as the default mode network(DMN),the salience network(SN),and the central executive ne...
Ventral tegmental area(VTA),which is well-documented as a modulatory center of reward and addiction,has been demonstrated to participate in pain processing.In addition,insula cortex(IC)has also been proved to be relat...
