So far, research has shown how pain intensity can be directly related to specific patterns of oscillation in brain activity, which are altered by the activation and deactivation of the \u2018interneurons\u2019 connecting different regions of the brain. However, it remains unclear how the process is affected by \u2018inhibitory\u2019 interneurons, which prevent chemical messages from passing between these regions. Through new research published in EPJ B, researchers led by Fernando Montani at Instituto de F\u00edsica La Plata, Argentina, show that inhibitory interneurons make up 20% of the circuitry in the brain required for pain processing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The many different sensations our bodies experience are accompanied by deeply complex exchanges of information within the brain, and the feeling of pain is no exception.
