Fibromyalgia and overlapping disorders: the unifying concept of central sensitivity syndromes. (2007, background): “In FMS, catastrophizing was related to decreased pain threshold and tolerance to heat stimulus (73) and to increased activity in brain areas related to anticipation, attention, and the emotional aspects of pain, as shown by fMRI in response to pressure stimulus delivered by a rubber probe (210).”
A multisensory investigation of the functional significance of the "pain matrix" (2011, neutral): “A large number of recent studies have relied on this “labeled-lines” interpretation of the “pain matrix” to interpret their data (e.g., Avenanti et al., 2005; Brooks and Tracey, 2005; Derbyshire et al., 1997; Frot et al., 2008; Garcia-Larrea et al., 2002; Gracely et al., 2004; Kakigi et al., 2004; M”
The cerebral signature for pain perception and its modulation. (2007, background): “…associated with increased activity in brain areas related to anticipation of pain (medial frontal cortex, cerebellum), attention to pain (dorsal ACC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), emotional aspects of pain (claustrum, closely connected to amygdala), and motor control (Gracely et al., 2004).”
