• Neurobiological mechanisms for opponent motivational processes in addiction (2008, background): “The extended amygdala has long been hypothesized to have a key role not only in fear conditioning (Le Doux 2000) but also in the emotional component of pain processing (Neugebauer et al. 2004).”
• The influence of negative emotions on pain: Behavioral effects and neural mechanisms (2009, neutral): “affective dimension of pain (Gao et al., 2004; Ji et al., 2007; Neugebauer et al., 2004).”
• Pain and the brain: Specificity and plasticity of the brain in clinical chronic pain (2010, background): “The human functional brain imaging studies for chronic pain point to the recurring theme that chronic pain conditions engage preferentially medial prefrontal cortical areas as well as subcortical limbic regions, especially portions of the dorsal and ventral basal ganglia [16], amygdala [76], and hip”
• How do we perceive the pain of others? A window into the neural processes involved in empathy (2005, background): “Interestingly, a recent review has argued that the amygdala could, however, play a role in persistent pain (Neugebauer et al., 2004).”
• MAP kinase and pain (2008, background): “The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is known to receive nociceptive-specific inputs, and sensitization of neurons in the CeA has been demonstrated following the induction of arthritis (Neugebauer et al., 2004; Han et al., 2005) and nerve injury (Ikeda et al., 2007).”
• Neurocircuitry of Addiction (2009, background): “The extended amygdala has long been hypothesized to have a key role not only in fear conditioning (Le Doux, 2000) but also in the emotional component of pain processing (Neugebauer et al, 2004).”
• The cerebral signature for pain perception and its modulation. (2007, background): “…the exact relationship between depression and pain is unknown, with debate regarding whether one condition leads to the other or if an underlying diathesis exists, studies have attempted to isolate brain regions, such as the amygdale, that may mediate their interaction (Neugebauer et al., 2004).”
• Amygdala inhibitory circuits and the control of fear memory. (2009, background): “, 2004), and their modification may be the neural substrate underlying the emotional and behavioral modifications accompanying states of persistent pain (Delaney et al., 2007; Neugebauer et al., 2004).”
• A role for brain stress systems in addiction. (2008, neutral): “Both of these pathways have been implicated in mediating the affective dimension of pain (Neugebauer et al., 2004).”
