Transient and linearly graded deactivation of the human default-mode network by a visual detection task

KD Singh, IP Fawcett - Neuroimage, 2008 - Elsevier
In this fMRI study, we show that an extended network of brain areas, previously described as
the default-mode network, is suppressed during the performance of a global visual motion …

Exploring the brain in pain: activations, deactivations and their relation

J Kong, ML Loggia, C Zyloney, P Tu, P LaViolette… - Pain, 2010 - Elsevier
The majority of neuroimaging studies on pain focuses on the study of BOLD activations, and
more rarely on deactivations. In this study, in a relatively large cohort of subjects (N= 61), we …
