    • Kortikal tykkelse korrelerer med temperatur- og smertesensitivitet. En studie av individuelle forskjeller i opplevelsen av smerte 

      Michalsen, Henriette (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-04-27)
      Tidligere forskning på smerte har kommet en lang vei med å etablere kunnskap om nevrale korrelater for smerte. Derimot har få studier sett nærmere på nevrale korrelater for individuelle forskjeller i opplevelse av smerte. Videre har kun én studie undersøkt sammenhengen mellom smerte og kortikal tykkelse hos friske individer. Det denne studien ønsket å undersøke, var sammenhengen mellom kortikal ...
