Over the past two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have explored brain
activation patterns during acute noxious stimuli. Whilst these human investigations have …

Pain is associated with the activation of many brain areas involved in the multiple
dimensions of the experience. Several of those brain areas may also contribute to the …

The discovery of cortical networks that participate in pain processing has led to the common
generalization that blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) responses in these areas indicate …

Concerning the physiological correlates of pain, the brain stem is considered to be one core
region that is activated by noxious input. In animal studies, different slopes of skin heating …

Background The representation of variability in sensitivity to pain by differences in neural
connectivity patterns and its association with psychological factors needs further …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine whether similar brain
regions activate during noxious hot and cold stimulation. Six male subjects underwent whole …

Neuroimaging studies of painful stimuli in humans have identified a network of brain regions
that is more extensive than identified previously in electrophysiological and anatomical …

Pain perception can be powerfully influenced by an individual's expectations and beliefs.
Although the cortical circuitry responsible for pain modulation has been thoroughly …

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience usually triggered by stimulation of
peripheral nerves and often associated with actual or potential tissue damage. It is well …

Functional imaging of human trigemino-nociceptive processing provides meaningful insights
into altered pain processing in head and face pain diseases. Although functional magnetic …
