To compare findings across species, neuroscience relies on cross-species homologies,
particularly in terms of brain areas. For cingulate cortex, a structure implicated in behavioural …

MR-based brain imaging technologies provide a suite of functional and structural metrics
that can be used to test hypotheses about the CNS mechanisms underlying pain perception …

Chronic pain is associated with neuronal plasticity. Here we use resting-state functional
magnetic resonance imaging to investigate functional changes in patients suffering from …

Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) show characteristically enhanced unpleasantness to painful
and nonpainful sensations accompanied by altered neural responses. The diagnostic …

Pain of the orofacial region is the primary complaint for which patients seek treatment. Of all
the orofacial pain conditions, one condition that possess a significant global health problem …

The insular cortex (IC) and cingulate cortex (CC) are critically involved in pain perception.
Previously we demonstrated that fibromyalgia (FM) patients have greater connectivity …

Classic trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) is a chronic neuropathic pain state characterized by
intense, piercing spasms of the orofacial region, and may be attributable to abnormal pain …

Compelling evidence has shown chronic widespread and exaggerated pain experience in
chronic musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) conditions. In addition, neuroimaging research has …

Chronic pain surrounding the temporomandibular joints and masticatory muscles is often the
primary chief complaint of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) seeking …

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and
memory and mood disturbances. Despite advances in our understanding of the underlying …
