“Elements of Neurogeometry. Functional architectures of vision” by Jean Petitot This book describes in detail certain geometric algorithms implemented by the functional architectures of vision found e.g. in primary visual area V1. Its main concern is therefore the internal neural origin of external spatial representations, and this is why the author coined the term neurogeometry… Read more »

Due to the transitional nature of social change in contemporary China, class identities are relatively new and more volatile, and class structures are less clearly defined. This transitional nature in the change of social structures has implications on the choices and decisions people make as consumers.
The theme for International Day of Forests 2018, “Forests and Sustainable Cities,” is a good opportunity to discuss cities’ forest cover goals. Tree planting campaigns implemented recently in many cities have certainly invigorated the urban forestry movement and engaged the public in pursuing sustainable development goals. But what was the goal of these campaigns? Were they to increase tree cover, or were they to counterbalance tree cover losses from 2000 to 2012?
March 21st, 2018 is Cluster Headache Awareness day, a global initiative aiming to raise awareness of an exceptional yet neglected disorder. Since its launch two years ago, this initiative has created exciting events and meaningful collaborations of different entities across Europe with a noble purpose: urging to spread awareness, instigate compassion and produce new interests in this disorder. Here, cluster headache researcher and member of The Journal of Headache and Pain advisory board, Dr. Giorgio Lambru, tells us about the condition and recent advances in its treatment.
Cluster headaches are one of the worst pains known to humanity, mostly affecting men. On the third Cluster Headache Awareness Day, we asked cluster headache researcher and member of The Journal of Headache and Pain advisory board, Dr. Andrea Negro, to introduce us to current treatment options for cluster headache and the cutting edge research driving future treatment possibilities.
Research published in ROBOMECH Journal describes how robotics researchers in Japan investigated how the brain adapts and assimilates an additional robotic limb, and what this could mean for the future of healthcare and rehabilitation.

A recently published thematic series in The Journal of Headache and Pain explores the most important aspects of a small molecule associated with migraine: Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP). The thematic series covers everything about PACAP from its discovery in the central nervous system to experimental studies with relevance to primary headaches. To find out more, we invited migraine researcher Song Guo to tell us the latest breakthroughs in migraine treatment.
