A huge congrats to our member Ali Aries for her NIHR Senior Clinical and Practitioner Research Award! This will support her work leading a Roundtable on somatosensation post-stroke for the ISRRA and to develop a Patient and Lived Experience Advisory Team (PLEAT) in The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust!

If you thought that putting Brazilians and a Argentinean together would be like "entering a world of pain," you were right! Led by @szczotml.bsky.social, we're glad to see this team effort coming together.

Not all pain is created equal: stepping on a nail feels different from a stomachache. We know there are many nociceptor types, but a key question remains: how is mechanical pain encoded across the body by those sensory neurons? Our new work helps answer this. 1/8

Hierarchical organization of mechano-nociceptive pathways revealed by activity labeling
Noxious mechanical stimuli give rise to distinct percepts, from sharp cutaneous pain to diffuse visceral discomfort, yet the nociceptor ensembles that underlie these differences remain poorly defined....

Some spiritual traditions believe the 'self' as a coherent, enduring entity to be an illusion, there is also a tangible 'bodily self' that forms the basis of this notion through somatosensation.

What is the scientific term for 'taste'?

Choices:

Nobel prize in somatosensation
paulginva.bsky.social Paul Graf @paulginva.bsky.social · Jun 3
Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

What are we doing?
Ardem Patapoutian's story is not just the American dream, it is the dream of American science. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1986 at age 18 after fleeing war-torn Lebanon. He spent a year writing for an Armenian newspaper and delivering Domino's at night to become eligible for the University of California, where he earned his undergraduate degree and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience. He started a lab at Scripps Research in San Diego with a grant from the National Institutes of Health, discovered the way humans sense touch, and in 2021 won the Nobel Prize. But with the Trump administration slashing spending on science, Dr. Patapoutian's federal grant to develop new approaches to treating pain has been frozen. In late February, he posted on Bluesky that such cuts would damage biomedical research and prompt an exodus of talent from the United States. Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to "any city, any university I want," he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.

Ziliang search the literature and observed that earlier research on how temporal predictions influence somatosensation has yielded very mixed findings: while some studies report expectations benefit perception, others showed that expectations worsened perception. How can this be?
