Functional reorganization of the human primary somatosensory cortex after acute pain demonstrated by magnetoencephalography.

abstract：:We describe a novel and powerful extracellular method for the staining of a single neuron identified by electrophysiological criteria. This single-unit technique involves the use of glass micro-electrodes (tip diameter: 1.5-2.5 microns) filled with a saline solution (NaCl; 0.5 M) containing 1.5% of biocytin or Neurobi...
