Interactions between brain and spinal cord mediate value effects in nocebo hyperalgesia
Value information about a drug, such as the price tag, can strongly affect its therapeutic
effect. We discovered that value information influences adverse treatment outcomes in …

Facilitation of pain in the human spinal cord by nocebo treatment
Nocebo hyperalgesia is an increase in subjective pain perception after a patient or subject
underwent an inert treatment without any active ingredient. For example, verbal suggestion …

Simultaneous brain, brainstem, and spinal cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals involvement of an endogenous opioid network in attentional analgesia
Pain perception is decreased by shifting attentional focus away from a threatening event.
This attentional analgesia engages parallel descending control pathways from anterior …

Intrinsically organized resting state networks in the human spinal cord
Spontaneous fluctuations in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals of the
brain have repeatedly been observed when no task or external stimulation is present. These …

Effect of respiration on the B0 field in the human spinal cord at 3T
T Verma, J Cohen‐Adad - Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose Respiration affects the bulk magnetic susceptibility, causing frequency shifts as
shown in the brain at 7T. Due to the close proximity of the spine to the lungs, this effect is …
