Parallel cortical-brainstem pathways to attentional analgesia

Parallel cortical-brainstem pathways to attentional analgesia

Pain demands attention, yet pain can be reduced by focusing attention elsewhere. The neural processes involved in this robust psychophysical phenomenon, attentional analgesia, are still being defined. Our previous fMRI study linked activity in the brainstem triad of locus coeruleus (LC), rostral ven...
