Involvement of Frontal Functions in Pain Tolerance in Aging: Evidence From Neuropsychological Assessments and Gamma-Band Oscillations

"Reduced pain tolerance may be one of the possible explanations for high prevalence of chronic pain among older people. We hypothesized that age-related alterations in pain tolerance are associated with functioning deterioration of the frontal cortex during normal aging. Twenty-one young and 41…

Thermal sensitivity in humans at the depth of thermal receptor endings beneath the skin: validation of a heat transfer model of the skin using high-temporal resolution stimuli

"The bioheat transfer equation predicts temperature distribution in living tissues such as the skin. This study aimed at psychophysically validating this model in humans. Methods Three experiments were performed. In the first, participants were asked to judge the thermal intensity of stimuli with…
