Recent studies (Hu and Iannetti Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2019;116:1782–1791 and Tan et al. Nat. Commun. 2019;10:983) in animals and humans provide converging evidence that gamma oscillations in the primary somatosensory cortex are closely and causally related to pain behavior and pain perception. These findings could help to identify brain-based markers of pain, as well as urgently needed novel targets for pain therapeutics.

伽马振荡形成动物和人类的疼痛

最近对动物和人类的研究（Hu 和 Iannetti Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2019;116:1782–1791 和 Tan et al. Nat. Commun. 2019;10:983）提供了汇聚证据，证明初级伽马振荡躯体感觉皮层与疼痛行为和痛觉知觉密切相关。这些发现可能有助于确定基于大脑的疼痛标志物，以及迫切需要的疼痛治疗新靶点。
