Simultaneous Brain, Brainstem and Spinal Cord pharmacological-fMRI reveals endogenous opioid network interactions mediating attentional analgesia

2021-05-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Pain perception is decreased by shifting attentional focus away from a threatening event. This attentional analgesia engages parallel descending control pathways from anterior cingulate (ACC) to locus coeruleus, and ACC to periaqueductal grey (PAG) – rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), indicating possible roles for noradrenergic or opioidergic neuromodulators. To determine which pathway modulates...
