Gamma oscillations in somatosensory cortex recruit prefrontal and descending serotonergic pathways in aversion and nociception

Gamma oscillations in somatosensory areas in humans correlate with pain perception and pain stimulus intensity, but could also reflect cognitive processes such as attention. Here the authors provide evidence in mice that these oscillations causally contribute to pain perception.
