Toward a neurophysiology of pain.

چکیده
PAIN COMMANDS attention. It commands the attention of those engaged in brain research because of its fundamental biological significance; it commands the attention of the clinician, for he is asked to alleviate it; and, almost by definition, it commands the patient's attention for, more than any of the other senses, pain has the capacity to tap motivational drives, disrupt thought and behavior, and influence feeling or affect.

A role for midcingulate cortex in the interruptive effects of pain anticipation on attention.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the anticipatory neural processes associated with the interruptive effects of pain anticipation on attention. METHODS Sustained attention was measured in healthy subjects (n=24) by the number of task errors in a go/no-go task involving temporal discrimination of non-painful cutaneous electrical stimuli. Painful distractors were randomly delivered to the same spatial l...
متن کاملMorphine-induced analgesia subsequent to formalin injection in female Wistar rat
Background and Objectives: Previous studies have shown the antinociceptive effect of morphine in animal models, but the specific anti-pain consequence of the abuse drug in female animals is unclear. The present research showed the morphine antinociception in female Wistar rats using formalin test. Materials and Methods: Subjects were 40 female Wistar rats purchased from Pasteur Institute of Ir...
متن کاملRight-lateralized pain processing in the human cortex: an FMRI study.
Neuroimaging studies of human pain have revealed a widespread "pain matrix" distributed across both hemispheres of the brain. It is not resolved whether the pain matrix is biased toward one hemisphere, although behavioral and clinical data suggest that pain is perceived differently on the two sides of the body, and several neuroimaging studies suggest that pain processing in some regions of cor...
متن کاملDifferential coding of pain intensity in the human primary and secondary somatosensory cortex.
The primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices have been shown to participate in human pain processing. However, in humans it is unclear how SI and SII contribute to the encoding of nociceptive stimulus intensity. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG) we recorded responses in SI and SII in eight healthy humans to four different intensities of selectively nociceptive laser stimuli deli...
متن کاملUnraveling the barriers to reconceptualization of the problem in chronic pain: the actual and perceived ability of patients and health professionals to understand the neurophysiology.
To identify why reconceptualization of the problem is difficult in chronic pain, this study aimed to evaluate whether (1) health professionals and patients can understand currently accurate information about the neurophysiology of pain and (2) health professionals accurately estimate the ability of patients to understand the neurophysiology of pain. Knowledge tests were completed by 276 patient...
