The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a functionally and structurally heterogeneous
region and a key node of several brain networks, implicated in cognitive, affective, and …

Frontal lobe activity during pain is generally linked to attentional processing. We addressed
the question of whether 'bottom‐up'processing and 'top‐down'modulation of nociceptive …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in the cognitive appraisal and
modulation of the pain experience. In this sham-controlled study, with healthy volunteers, we …

The dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) has been recognized as a key cortical area for
nociceptive modulation. However, the underlying neural pathway and the function of specific …

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFCx) has been implicated in pain perception and in a
pain modulation pathway. However, the precise participation of this region is not completely …

Background High-frequency rTMS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has
demonstrated mixed effects on chronic and provoked pain. Objectives/Methods In this study …

Pain is a multidimensional experience with sensory-discriminative, cognitive-evaluative and
affective-motivational components. Emotional factors such as unpleasantness or anxiety are …

Accumulating evidence has shown that complicated brain systems are involved in the
development and maintenance of chronic low back pain (cLBP), but the association …

Chronic pain patients frequently develop and suffer from mental comorbidities such as
depressive mood, impaired cognition, and other significant constraints of daily life, which …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is not only important in executive functions, but also pain
processing. The latter is dependent on its connections to other areas of the cerebral …
