Cover Story: Abdominal pain is prevalent in GI disorders. Pain signals actively shape brain dynamics, and disturbance of oscillatory brain activity is associated with GI disorders. However, the precise mechanisms are still in their early infancy. In this issue, Drs. Alam and Chen highlighted extracellular electrophysiology as an emerging tool capable of capturing brain signals across different brain regions with high spatiotemporal resolution. This method permits monitoring neuronal firing patterns and comparative characterization of the brain oscillations in awake-behaving animals. Future works in this field might provide better insight into identifying pain biomarkers in FGIDs. This method may also reveal the role of gut–brain communication in patients with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. View this paper
