This lecture will discuss studies aimed at understanding the neural basis of somatosensory perception. Specifically, three areas of research will be presented including: peripheral and brainstem sensory and motor circuits underlying exploratory touch behaviors; neural circuits processing the sensory-discriminative and the affective aspects of orofacial pain; and neural circuits mediating the analgesic (pain-suppression) functions of general anesthesia, especially the identification of an anesthesia-activated circuit in the amygdala that potently suppresses pain.
