    The periaqueductal gray and Bayesian integration in placebo analgesia

    Arvina Grahl, Selim Onat, Christian Büchel
    Bayesian integration is able to predict placebo treatment outcomes by focusing especially on the influence of the precision of expectations.

    Simultaneous brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals involvement of an endogenous opioid network in attentional analgesia

    Valeria Oliva, Ron Hartley-Davies ... Jonathan CW Brooks
    Attention-grabbing tasks produce rapid opioid-mediated analgesia via the descending pain modulation network to alter spinal neuronal activity.

    Microbiota regulates visceral pain in the mouse

    Pauline Luczynski, Monica Tramullas ... John F Cryan
    Determining that microbiota-deficient mice have increased visceral pain, which can be reversed by restoring microbiota, may lead to novel microbial-based strategies for disorders associated with visceral pain.

    Cellular, circuit and transcriptional framework for modulation of itch in the central amygdala

    Vijay K Samineni, Jose G Grajales-Reyes ... Robert W Gereau
    Circuit and transcriptional analysis shows that genetically defined central amygdala neurons and their projections to the ventral periaqueductal gray mediate behavioral and affective responses to pruritus.

    Proposing a neural framework for the evolution of elaborate courtship displays

    Ryan W Schwark, Matthew J Fuxjager, Marc F Schmidt
    The midbrain periaqueductal grey is a conserved mediator of elaborate courtship behavior in a range of vertebrate taxa, likely shaping how this behavior diversifies across the tree of life.

    Circuit and synaptic organization of forebrain-to-midbrain pathways that promote and suppress vocalization

    Valerie Michael, Jack Goffinet ... Richard Mooney
    Inhibitory neurons in the hypothalamus and amygdala push and pull on the midbrain vocal gating circuit to trigger and suppress ultrasonic vocalization (USV) production in the mouse.

    Loss of cortical control over the descending pain modulatory system determines the development of the neuropathic pain state in rats

    Robert AR Drake, Kenneth A Steel ... Anthony E Pickering
    Alterations to brain network communication leading to a progressive loss in descending inhibitory modulation of the spinal cord is a key determinate of pain state development following peripheral nerve injury.

    The anterior cingulate cortex and its role in controlling contextual fear memory to predatory threats

    Miguel Antonio Xavier de Lima, Marcus Vinicius C Baldo ... Newton Sabino Canteras
    The anterior cingulate cortex provides predictive relationships between the context and the predator threat and influences the acquisition and expression of fear memory to predatory threat.

    Opioid analgesia alters corticospinal coupling along the descending pain system in healthy participants

    Alexandra Tinnermann, Christian Sprenger, Christian Büchel
    Corticospinal functional MRI reveals that the opioid remifentanil and the level of perceived analgesia modulate coupling strength between the prefrontal cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord.

    Multi-centre analysis of networks and genes modulated by hypothalamic stimulation in patients with aggressive behaviours

    Flavia Venetucci Gouveia, Jurgen Germann ... Clement Hamani
    Integrated imaging analysis of a large multi-center dataset showed that treatment of refractory aggressive behavior with hypothalamic deep brain stimulation is highly effective with specific clinical and neuroimaging features associated with treatment success.
