Whole‐body mapping of spatial acuity for pain and touch
Objective Tactile spatial acuity is routinely tested in neurology to assess the state of the
dorsal column system. In contrast, spatial acuity for pain is not assessed, having never been …

Does it look painful or disgusting? Ask your parietal and cingulate cortex
Looking at still images of body parts in situations that are likely to cause pain has been shown
to be associated with activation in some brain areas involved in pain processing. Because …

The accessory optic system: basic organization with an update on connectivity, neurochemistry, and function
RA Giolli, RHI Blanks, F Lui - Progress in brain research, 2006 - Elsevier
The accessory optic system (AOS) is formed by a series of terminal nuclei receiving direct
visual information from the retina via one or more accessory optic tracts. In addition to the …

Neural bases of conditioned placebo analgesia
Despite growing interest in the placebo effect, the neural correlates of conditioned analgesia
are still incompletely understood. We investigated herein on brain activity during the …

Touch or pain? Spatio-temporal patterns of cortical fMRI activity following brief mechanical stimuli
Most imaging studies on the human pain system have concentrated so far on the spatial
distribution of pain-related activity. In the present study, we investigated similarities and …

Ranking brain areas encoding the perceived level of pain from fMRI data
Pain perception is thought to emerge from the integrated activity of a distributed brain system,
but the relative contribution of the different network nodes is still incompletely understood. …
