Mikulis. Functional MRI of pain-and attention-related activations in the human cingulate�…

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in both sustained attention (SA)
and pain perception. Nonetheless, only a small body of literature has examined the�…

Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated activations in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)
related to the affective component of pain, but not to stimulus intensity. However, it is�…

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has a pivotal role in human pain processing by
integrating sensory, executive, attentional, emotional, and motivational components of pain�…

Neurosurgical and positron emission tomography (PET) human studies and animal
electrophysiological studies show that part of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is�…

Previous neuroimaging studies comparing pain observation with directly-experienced pain
have shown conjoint activations in the cingulate cortex between felt and seen pain�…

Current clinical and experimental literature strongly supports the phenomenon of reduced
pain perception whilst attention is distracted away from noxious stimuli. This study used�…

The intensity and unpleasantness of a painful experience is often described as correlating
well with the degree of noxious stimulation. However, the perception of pain is not a linear�…

Human neuroimaging and virus-tracing studies in monkey predict that motor control and
pain processes should overlap in anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), but there is currently�…

Since the discovery in the early 1990s that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used
for functional imaging of the human brain, the technique has been used to examine the�…
