Abstract:
Neuroimaging studies with positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have delineated a human pain network in vivo. Despite the recognition of cerebral structures engaged in pain transmission, the cerebral mechanisms involved in pain modulation are still not well understood. Here, we investigated healthy volunteers using fMRI during experimental heat pain and distraction induced by a visual incongruent color-word Stroop task. A factorial design permitted c...     »
