Understanding how this process fails in disorders of musical perception may thus provide insight into a wide range of normal cognitive functions.
Secondly, in consideration of acquired disorders of speech perception and production, the identification of critical regions offers the opportunity for a predictive model of language deficits.
Psychoses are severe disorders of thinking, perception and emotions, which affect 50 per 100,000 individuals in the UK every year [ 1].
Studies of human monogenic disorders of pain perception have drawn attention to the voltage-gated sodium channels in sensory neurons (Eijkelkamp et al., 2012, Waxman, 2013), particularly Nav1.7 as a potential drug target, because loss of function in this channel leads to chronic insensitivity to pain (CIP) (Cox et al., 2006, Goldberg et al., 2007).

Although the cause of fibromyalgia is unclear, extensive research has helped understanding of fibromyalgia and indicates that fibromyalgia is a central amplification disorder of pain perception resulting from neurochemical imbalances in the central nervous system [ 4- 6].
